Notwithstanding that the business was and continues to be in excellent shape, we made several changes in order to maximize our performance as we looked ahead to our next phase of growth. Our 2016 results were positively impacted by the traction we now have from these changes, which I expect will be carried into 2017 and beyond. In order for a publicly listed real estate company to be successful, it must deliver both Net Asset Value (NAV) growth and Funds from Operations (FFO) growth, both measured on a per-share basis, of course. Our track record of creating value through growth in NAV per share is something we are very proud of. While we have a history of growing our FFO per-share as well, I will be frank by saying our historical FFO growth, considering our industry-leading property-level performance, has not met expectations (including our own). Therefore, growing our FFO per-share was a metric that we identified as a top priority. In 2016, we were pleased with our progress. We translated our property-level performance into FFO growth that exceeded the expectations we had at the beginning of the year. FFO per diluted share increased to $1.11 in 2016 from $0.99 in 2015, representing an increase of 12%. We had several one-time items that impacted these figures. Accordingly, we also continued to focus on Operating Funds from Operations (OFFO), a more normalized metric. The result however, was similar. We reported OFFO per share equal to $1.10 in 2016, which is the highest in FCR’s history, representing an increase of 4.7% over the prior year. OFFO Per Share $1.10 $1.04 $1.05 2014 2015 2016 Continuing Strong Performance We continued to perform very well at the property level in 2016. Despite several macro headwinds, as always, we remained focused on the micro factors, which resulted in high occupancy levels, above-industry-average rental-rate increases on lease renewals, and growth in same-property NOI. It was another active year on the leasing front with a total of 2.6 million square feet of completed lease transactions. This resulted in a 20 bps increase to occupancy, which stood at 95.0% at year-end with the opportunity for further improvement before we reach our historical long-term average occupancy. We achieved a rental rate increase on 1.6 million square feet of lease renewals equal to 7.5% (8.2% on 1.5 million square feet in our same property portfolio). Together with new space completed from our development program (average net rental rate of $31.96 per square foot) and new leasing in the balance of the portfolio where market rental rates are well in excess of those in-place, our total average net rental rate increased by 2.9% to $19.39 per square foot, up from $18.84 per square foot in 2015. A key measure of a real estate portfolio’s year-over-year performance is same-property NOI. In 2016, same property NOI rose 1.1%. While it was below our historical average, we were pleased as 2016 was not a typical year. First, we had above-average lease-termination-fee income of $3.0 million in the second quarter of 2015, which would not repeat in 2016. Second, we were transitioning an above-average amount of anchor tenant space, most notably Target. This anchor space created a significant value-creating opportunity for us as we entered into new leases at higher current market rents. This is great news, but much of this space was not income-generating in 2016 as the space was being prepared for our new tenants to open. Many of these tenants are now operating and paying rent. Therefore we expect our 2017 same-property NOI growth to resume to a level that is more typical for FCR. From a balance sheet perspective, we maintained a strong and flexible financial position at year-end with a conservative debt-to-asset ratio. In total, we raised $1.0 billion of equity and debt capital to fund our growth and satisfy our obligations in 2016. We continued to maintain a well-staggered debt maturity profile with a weighted average term of 5.5 years. We also reduced our weighted average interest rate to 4.5% at the end of 2016 from 4.7% in 2015. Our unencumbered assets grew by $800 million to $6.6 billion, which represented 72% of our total assets at the end of 2016 and provides us with tremendous financial flexibility going forward. While we are comfortable with our financial position today, our goal is to reduce our leverage over time, specifically our debt-to-EBITDA ratio. We would also like to reduce our OFFO payout ratio in order to retain even more operating cash flow, after the payment of dividends, to more efficiently fund our growth. In 2016, our OFFO payout ratio improved by 400 bps to 78% versus 2015. In 2016, First Capital shareholders received a total return equal to 17.3%. However, our focus continues to be on long-term returns and we are proud that we have outperformed the TSX Capped REIT Index and the TSX Composite Index over each of the last 3, 5, 10 and 16 years (the inception period from which we measure ourselves). First Capital Realty S&P/ TSX Capped REIT Index S&P/TSX Composite 10.1% 7.3% 7.1% 8.4% 6.4% 8.2% 7.4% 6.3% 4.7% 15.4% 10.4% 6.0% 3 Year 5 Year 10 Year 16 Year (Inception Period) KING HIGH LINE, TORONTO MOUNT ROYAL VILLAGE, CALGARY 3080 YONGE STREET, TORONTO High-Quality Portfolio Our high-quality property portfolio is clearly one of our competitive advantages, which consisted of interests in 160 retail properties at year-end, totaling 25.3 million square feet of gross leasable area with an IFRS fair value of $8.7 billion. Our properties are well located in Canada’s large urban growth markets. The population and household income within five kilometres of our properties average 207,000 and $106,000 respectively, which have increased significantly from 134,000 and $76,000 just a few years ago. We are a true leader amongst our Canadian retail peers when it comes to portfolio demographics and we will continue to pay close attention to these important metrics by investing our capital in markets where the population is expanding at a rate that exceeds the ability to add new retail space. Over time, this will increase sales per square foot in our properties, which in turn will increase rents at a pace that exceeds the industry average. We strongly believe over the long term that the demographic profile of our portfolio will be one of our most significant competitive advantages. Our shopping centres are occupied by Canada’s leading retailers who provide necessity-based goods and services, meaning those that consumers generally buy regardless of the economic environment. At December 31, 2016, our portfolio included 132 grocery stores, 135 pharmacies, 96 liquor stores, 82 fitness facilities, 89 daycare and learning centres and 965 cafes and restaurants, amongst many other retailers that consumers frequent as part of their everyday life. Notably, nearly 35% of our total rent is now earned from retailers whose businesses are e-commerce-proof, including fitness centres, medical service providers, nail and hair salons, restaurants, child- care centres and numerous others with the balance being largely e-commerce-resistant. It is the quality of our tenant base, as well as our focus on necessity-based retail in the best urban locations, that has generated such strong operating performance through both robust and challenging economic times and that will lead to continued growth and stability in the years ahead. In 2016, we further improved our already high-quality portfolio of retail assets. In total, we invested $655 million in development, re-development, acquisitions and intensification initiatives. During the year, we transferred 182,000 square feet of new urban retail space in our key Toronto, Montreal, Edmonton, Calgary and Vancouver markets from development to our income-producing portfolio at a cost of $189 million. Development, re-development and asset re-positioning have been core competencies at First Capital since inception and is now another one of our key competitive advantages. We currently have an active development program that will continue to add exceptional urban retail assets to our portfolio for years to come, assets that we simply cannot buy today. We are well underway with a number of large development projects that will be completed over the next two years, including Yorkville Village, King High Line and 3080 Yonge Street in downtown or midtown Toronto, as well as the Brewery District in downtown Edmonton and Mount Royal Village in downtown Calgary. We made significant advances in all of these projects during 2016 and each will meaningfully contribute to our existing high-quality portfolio of income-producing urban retail assets. At completion, these five assets will comprise 1.3 million square feet at a total estimated cost of approximately $1.0 billion at First Capital’s share. We have also identified some of the next properties we plan to re-develop, which include the former Christie Cookie Factory we acquired in 2016. Our team is very excited about this specific acquisition and the opportunity to oversee the development of a 27-acre mixed-use community with a high-quality urban design. The redevelopment of this important site will integrate a range of uses and densities near Toronto’s waterfront, including a significant retail component where we can apply the best of what we’ve learned over many years in urban retail development. YORKVILLE VILLAGE, TORONTO New Avenue Road façade The Oval The Lane (new Yorkville entrance) One of the unique attributes of First Capital Realty is the depth of our pipeline of development and re-development opportunities in the portfolio of properties we own. To date, we have identified 3 million square feet of retail density and 11 million square feet of residential density that can be incrementally added to our existing properties. Even without any external acquisitions, our current pipeline will keep us busy creating value for many years to come. That said, I do expect we will periodically add to this pipeline through the selective acquisition of properties with future development potential when appropriate as we did in 2016. Outlook Like many industries, real estate, and retail specifically, is undergoing a great deal of change. One of the things we are most proud of is our track record of recognizing evolving trends and creating opportunities out of them. There are dozens of examples I can point to, but a review of our current tenant roster highlights this point. The majority of our tenants and the retail categories they operate within are performing well while those tenants who are facing significant challenges in today’s climate, are scarce in our portfolio. As well, it is largely by design, not accident, that such a high component of our income (and growing) comes from e-commerce-proof businesses (~35%). The retail landscape will continue to evolve at a rapid pace. The location and quality of our portfolio, including the demographic profile of our properties and the barriers to entry for new supply, give us a lot of comfort that our real estate will continue to be in high demand. As we apply the capabilities of our platform to this irreplaceable portfolio, we are positioned to experience continued escalation in rental rates and portfolio value over the long term. What’s more, with the stability of our high-quality covenant and necessity-based retail tenants, we should achieve this with relatively less volatility. I am personally very optimistic about our future. I believe we have all of the right ingredients for success. It starts with the right strategy for the road that lies ahead and extends to having the right people, properties, tenant base, brand and balance sheet. Real estate is a long-term business and First Capital is best suited for investors with an investment horizon that extends over many years. In 2016, we continued to build on our solid foundation and made many decisions with the next decade and beyond in mind. I will conclude by thanking the First Capital team for their tireless efforts executing our strategy in what was a very successful year, our Board of Directors for their ongoing guidance and support, our tenants for collaboratively working with us to mutually achieve our respective objectives, our partners and service providers for their contributions and confidence in us, the communities in which we operate for supporting our properties and, most important, our shareholders for the privilege of managing your great Company.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW AND STRATEGY First Capital Realty (TSX : FCR) is one of Canada’s largest owners, developers and managers of grocery anchored, retail- focused urban properties where people live and shop for everyday life. As at December 31, 2016, the Company owned interests in 160 properties, totaling approximately 25.3 million square feet of gross leasable area (“GLA”). First Capital Realty’s primary strategy is the creation of value over the long term by generating sustainable growth in cash flow and capital appreciation of its shopping centre portfolio. To achieve the Company’s strategic objectives, Management continues to: • undertake selective development, redevelopment and repositioning activities on its properties, including land use intensification; • be focused and disciplined in acquiring well-located properties, primarily where there are value creation opportunities, including sites in close proximity to existing properties in the Company’s target urban markets; • proactively manage its existing shopping centre portfolio to drive rent growth; • increase efficiency and productivity of operations; and • maintain financial strength and flexibility to achieve a competitive cost of capital. Shopping for Everyday Life® The Company primarily owns, develops and manages properties that provide consumers with products and services that are considered to be daily necessities or non-discretionary expenditures. Currently, over 90% of the Company’s revenues come from tenants who provide these essential products and services, including grocery stores, pharmacies, liquor stores, banks, restaurants, cafés, fitness centres, medical, childcare facilities and other professional and personal services. Management looks to implement a specific complementary tenant offering at each of its properties to best serve the needs of the local community. The Company is highly focused on ensuring the competitive position of its assets in their respective urban and retail trade areas and closely follows demographic profiles and shopping trends that may impact the performance of its properties. In Management’s view, shopping centres, including mixed-use properties with a meaningful retail component, located in urban markets with tenants who primarily provide non-discretionary goods and services, will be less sensitive to both economic cycles and changing retail trends, thus adding to the stability and growth of cash flow over the long term. FIRST CAPITAL REALTY ANNUAL REPORT 2016 2 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – continued Shopping for Everyday Life® 3 FIRST CAPITAL REALTY ANNUAL REPORT 2016 Urban Focus The Company targets specific urban markets in Canada with stable and/or growing populations. Specifically, the Company intends to continue to operate primarily in and around its target urban markets which include the Greater Toronto Area (including the Golden Horseshoe Area and London); Greater Calgary Area; Greater Edmonton Area; Greater Vancouver Area (including Vancouver Island); Greater Montreal Area; Greater Ottawa Area (including Gatineau region); and Quebec City. Over 95% of the Company’s annual minimum rent is derived from these markets. The Company has achieved critical mass in its target markets, which helps generate economies of scale and operating synergies, as well as deep local knowledge of its properties, tenants, neighbourhoods and markets in which it operates. Within each of these markets, the Company owns and targets well-located properties with strong demographics that Management expects will continue to get stronger over time, therefore attracting high quality tenants with rent growth potential. Real Estate Investments Acquisitions Management seeks to acquire well-located, high quality retail properties and sites in the Company’s target urban markets. These properties are acquired when they complement or add value to the existing portfolio or provide opportunity for redevelopment or repositioning. Once the Company has acquired a property in a specific retail trade area, Management will look to acquire properties in close proximity. These properties allow the Company to provide maximum flexibility to its tenant base to meet changing formats and size requirements over the long term. Adjacent properties also allow the Company to expand or intensify its existing property. They also provide more flexibility to offer the appropriate merchandising mix, providing a better overall retail product and service offering for consumers in the property's trade area. Management believes that its adjacent site acquisitions result in a stronger retail offering and, ultimately, a better long-term return on investment, with a lower level of risk. Through acquisitions, the Company expands its presence in its target urban markets in Canada, and continues to generate greater economies of scale and leasing and operating synergies. Management will continue to look for strategic acquisitions, in both existing markets and strong trade areas within its existing urban markets where the Company does not yet have a presence. Dispositions The Company also recycles its capital to fund new investments by selling assets in certain markets that are no longer aligned with its core strategy. Development, Redevelopment and Land Use Intensification The Company pursues selective development and redevelopment activities including land use intensification projects, primarily on its own, but also with partners. Redevelopment activities are focused primarily on older, well-located shopping centres that the Company owns. These properties are redeveloped and expanded over time in conjunction with anchor tenant repositioning and changing retail environments. Redevelopment of existing properties generally carries a lower market risk due to the urban locations in which they are situated, an existing tenant base and the ability to increase density through land use intensification. Redevelopment projects are carefully managed to minimize tenant downtime. FIRST CAPITAL REALTY ANNUAL REPORT 2016 4 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – continued When possible, tenants continue to operate during the planning, zoning and leasing phases of the project with modest “holdover” income from tenants operating during this period. The Company will sometimes carry vacant space in a property for a planned future expansion of tenants or reconfiguration of a property. Management believes that the Company’s shopping centres, along with its portfolio of adjacent sites, give it a unique opportunity to participate in urban land use intensification in its various markets. The land use intensification trend in the Company’s target urban markets is driven by the costs for municipalities to expand infrastructure beyond existing urban boundaries, the desire by municipalities to increase their tax base, environmental considerations and the migration of people to vibrant urban centres, a secular trend that is occurring in most major cities around the world. The Company’s land use intensification activities are focused primarily on increasing retail space on a property and, to a lesser degree, adding mixed-use density, including residential and office space. The Company has proven development and redevelopment capabilities across the country to enable it to capitalize on these opportunities and expects these land use intensification activities to increase over the next several years. To a lesser degree, the Company develops new properties on ground-up sites. Investments in redevelopment and development projects are generally less than 10% of the Company’s total assets (at invested cost) at any given time. Development activities are strategically managed to reduce leasing risks by obtaining lease commitments from anchor and major tenants prior to commencing construction. The Company also uses experts including architects, engineers and urban planning consultants, and negotiates competitive fixed-price construction contracts. These development and land use intensification activities provide the Company with an opportunity to use its existing platform to sustain and increase cash flow and realize capital appreciation over the long term. Proactive Management The Company views proactive management of its portfolio as a core competency and an important part of its strategy. Proactive management means the Company continues to invest in properties to ensure that they remain competitive by attracting high quality retail tenants and their customers over the long term. Specifically, Management strives to create and maintain the highest standards in lighting, parking, access and general appearance of the Company’s properties. The Company’s proactive management strategies have historically contributed to improvements in occupancy levels and average lease rates throughout the portfolio. The Company is fully internalized and all value creation activities, including development management, leasing, property management, lease administration, legal, construction management and tenant co-ordination functions, are directly managed and executed by experienced real estate professionals employed by the Company. The Company's executive leadership team is centralized at the Company’s head office location in Toronto, which ensures that best practices, procedures and standards are applied consistently across the Company's operating markets. Property management and operations are executed through local operating platforms in all major urban markets. Real estate acquisitions, development and redevelopment, leasing, and construction are executed through local teams located in the Company’s offices in Toronto, Montreal, and Calgary in order to effectively serve the major urban markets where First Capital Realty operates. In addition, the Company’s management team possesses significant retail experience, which contributes to the Company’s in-depth knowledge of its tenants and market trends. Cost of Capital The Company seeks to maintain financial strength and flexibility in order to achieve a competitive cost of debt and equity capital over the long term. The Company’s capital structure is key to financing growth and providing sustainable cash dividends to its shareholders. In the real estate industry, financial leverage is used to enhance rates of return on invested capital. Management believes that First Capital Realty’s capital structure composition of senior unsecured debt, mortgage debt, revolving credit facilities, bank indebtedness, convertible debentures and equity provides financing flexibility and reduces risks, while generating an attractive risk-adjusted return on investment, taking into account the long-term business strategy of the Company. The Company also recycles capital through the selective disposition of full or partial interests in properties. When it is deemed appropriate, the Company will raise equity to finance its growth and strengthen its financial position. 5 FIRST CAPITAL REALTY ANNUAL REPORT 2016 DBRS Limited (“DBRS”) has rated the Company’s senior unsecured debentures as BBB (high), and Moody's has rated these debentures as Baa2. Management believes that this, along with the quality of the Company’s real estate portfolio and other business attributes, contribute to reducing the Company’s cost of capital. OUTLOOK AND CURRENT BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT Since 2001, First Capital Realty has successfully grown its business across the country, focusing on key urban markets, dramatically enhancing the quality of its portfolio and generating modest accretion in funds from operations, while reducing leverage and achieving an investment grade credit rating. The Company expects to continue to grow its portfolio of high quality properties in urban markets in Canada in line with its long-term value creation strategy. The Company defines a high quality property primarily by its location, taking into consideration the local demographics and the retail supply and demand factors in each property trade area, and the ability to grow the property's cash flow. Changing Consumer Habits The Company continues to observe several demographic and other trends that may affect demand for retail goods and services, including an increasing reliance by consumers on online information to influence their purchasing decisions and an increasing desire to purchase products online, as well as an aging population which is increasingly focused on convenience and health-related goods and services. There is also a shift in consumer demand driven by an increasing number of ethnic consumers as a result of Canada’s immigration policies. Another trend that Management observes is a desire for consumers to live in urban markets and to connect with others through daily or frequent trips to grocery stores, fitness centres, cafés and/or restaurants. Management is proactively responding to these consumer changes through its tenant mix, unit sizes and shopping centre locations and designs. Evolving Retail Landscape Over the past several years, the Company has observed an increase in entry and/or expansion into the Canadian marketplace by several major U.S. and international retailers including Walmart, Marshalls, Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, Uniqlo and others. Although such repositioning resulted in new opportunities for the Company, it also resulted in an increasingly competitive retail landscape in Canada. In addition, many retailers have announced store closures and/or bankruptcies, including Mexx, Future Shop, Aeropostale, Black's, Nine West, Target, Danier Leather, Le Château and HMV. Although the Company’s exposure to these retailers is limited, these store closures will, in the short term, result in increased availability of retail space across Canada and have the potential to impact retail rental rates and leasing fundamentals. As a result of these ongoing changes, the Company remains highly focused on ensuring the competitive position of its shopping centres in all of its various retail trade areas. Management will continue to closely follow demographic and shopping trends, as well as retailer responses to these trends, and retail competition. The Company’s leasing strategy takes these factors into consideration in each trade area and its proactive management strategy helps to ensure the Company’s properties remain attractive to high quality tenants and their customers. In Management’s view, shopping centres and mixed-use properties located in urban markets with tenants providing non- discretionary goods and services, will be less sensitive to both economic cycles and evolving retail trends, thus providing more stable and growing cash flow over the long term. Growth For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Same Property portfolio delivered net operating income growth of 2.0% compared to the prior year excluding the effect of two significant lease surrender fees earned in the second quarter of 2015 (1.1% including the impact of these fees). The growth in Same Property net operating income was primarily due to rental rate step-ups and lease renewals at higher rates. Total portfolio occupancy improved to 95.0% as at December 31, 2016, from 94.8% as at December 31, 2015 primarily due to re-leasing a portion of the space vacated by the closure of two Target stores in the second quarter of 2015 and a Canadian Tire store in the third quarter of 2015. Urban municipalities where the Company operates continue to focus on increasing density within the existing boundaries of infrastructure. This provides the Company with multiple development and redevelopment opportunities in its existing FIRST CAPITAL REALTY ANNUAL REPORT 2016 6 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – continued portfolio of urban properties, which includes an inventory of adjacent land sites and development land. As at December 31, 2016, the Company had identified approximately 13.8 million square feet of incremental density available in the portfolio for future development (including 3.0 million square feet of retail and 10.9 million square feet of residential space), of which approximately 0.5 million square feet of development projects are currently underway. Development activities continue to provide the Company with growth within its existing portfolio of assets. These activities typically improve the quality of the property, which in turn leads to meaningful growth in property rental income. The Company’s development activities primarily comprise redevelopments and expansions of existing properties in established retail trade areas in urban markets. These projects typically carry risk that is associated more with project execution rather than market risk, as projects are located in well-established urban communities with existing demand for goods and services. The Company has a long and successful track record of development activities and will continue to manage carefully the risks associated with such projects. During the year, the Company transferred 288,000 square feet of new urban retail space from development to income- producing properties at a cost of $165.3 million. Approximately 264,000 square feet of the new space was occupied at an average net rental rate of $31.96 per square foot, well above the average rent for the entire portfolio of $19.39, thus realizing on the growth potential through development and redevelopment activities. Transaction Activity The property acquisition environment remains extremely competitive for assets of similar quality to those owned by the Company. There are typically multiple bids on high quality properties and asset valuations reflect strong demand for well- located income-producing assets. In addition, well-located urban properties rarely trade in the market and attract significant competition when they do. As a result, the urban property acquisitions completed by the Company typically do not provide material accretion to the Company’s results in the immediate term. However, the Company will continue to selectively acquire high quality, well-located properties that add strategic value and/or operating synergies, provided that they will be accretive to Operating FFO over the long term. Therefore, the Company expects to focus on development and redevelopment of existing assets as the primary means to grow the portfolio while continuing to make selective acquisitions that complement the existing portfolio. During the year, the Company acquired nine income-producing properties for $268.5 million in close proximity to the Company's existing shopping centres, adding a total of 621,400 square feet of gross leasable area to the portfolio. The Company also acquired four development properties for $51.7 million, including a 50% interest in the former Christie Cookie site comprising 27 acres of prime land in the southwest part of Toronto. Additionally, the Company invested $145.9 million in development and redevelopment activities during the year. In the third quarter of 2016, the Company advanced $189.2 million as a deposit on the acquisition of an investment property, located at One Bloor Street in Toronto, that is currently under construction. The deposit earns interest of 4.5% until the purchase closing date which is estimated to be in the fourth quarter of 2017. The Company continues to evaluate its properties and will occasionally dispose of non-core properties. This allows the Company to redeploy capital into its core urban redevelopment projects where population, rent growth and consumer trends present the opportunity for better long-term growth. During the year, the Company disposed of six properties and four land parcels for gross proceeds of $137.1 million. Financing Activity During the year, the Company repaid $155.6 million of mortgages with a weighted average effective interest rate of 4.0% and secured $203.4 million of new mortgages with a weighted average effective interest rate of 3.2% and a weighted average term of 10.1 years. In April 2016, the Company redeemed its remaining 5.25% Series G and 4.95% Series H convertible debentures at par and satisfied its principal and accrued interest owing on each series 50% by the issuance of common shares and 50% in cash. In May 2016, the Company completed the issuance of a $150.0 million principal amount of Series T senior unsecured debentures. The debentures have an effective interest rate of 3.7%, and mature on May 6, 2026 which represented a term 7 FIRST CAPITAL REALTY ANNUAL REPORT 2016 to maturity of 10.0 years at the time of issuance. Subsequently, in September 2016, the Company completed the issuance of an additional $150.0 million, which was a re-opening of the series T debentures, with an effective interest rate of 3.4%. In May 2016, the Company also issued 5.5 million common shares at a price of $21.10 for gross proceeds of $115.0 million. In August 2016, the Company issued an additional 7.6 million common shares at a price of $22.60 for gross proceeds of $172.6 million. The proceeds raised in the debt and equity offerings were primarily used to fund investment activities. Outlook Management is focused on the following five areas to achieve its objectives through 2017 and into 2018: • development, redevelopment and repositioning activities including land use intensification; • selective acquisitions of strategic assets and sites in close proximity to existing properties in the Company’s target urban markets; • proactive portfolio management that results in higher rent growth; • increasing the efficiency and productivity of operations; and • maintain financial strength and flexibility to achieve a competitive cost of capital over the long-term. Overall, Management is confident that the quality of the Company’s balance sheet and the defensive nature of its assets will continue to serve it well in the current environment and into the future. CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY AND SUSTAINABILITY The Company builds value by creating and managing high quality properties with long-term appeal in neighbourhoods and communities that the Company believes will have a good and growing customer base well into the future. The Company also takes a highly disciplined approach to the development and redevelopment of the Company’s properties across Canada. In 2006, the Company embarked on the path towards sustainability with a commitment to build all new developments to Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design ("LEED") standards subject to tenant acceptance. In 2009, the Company published its first Corporate Sustainability Report identifying five long-term goals. Since 2011, the Company has published annual Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability ("CRS") Reports. These CRS reports comply with the Global Reporting Initiative ("GRI"), an international non-profit organization whose mandate is to establish guidelines for CRS reports. The Company is proud to be Canada's first publicly traded real estate company to have issued a GRI-compliant and externally assured CRS report. In March 2016, the Company was named by Corporate Knights as one of the Future 40 Responsible Corporate Leaders in Canada. This ranking evaluated all Canadian companies with revenues of under $2.0 billion dollars or maintaining fewer than 2,000 employees in 2015 for their sustainability and disclosure practices. In June 2016, the Company responded to the 2015 Carbon Disclosure Project Information Request, disclosing information on the Company’s greenhouse gas emissions, energy use, and risks and opportunities from climate change. On the environmental front, the Company continues to develop its properties to LEED standards subject to tenant acceptance. As at December 31, 2016, 114 projects comprising 3.4 million square feet of GLA were certified to LEED standards. Another 31 projects comprising 1.3 million square feet of GLA are registered for LEED certification. Reducing energy and water consumption is also a key part of the sustainability program, and the Company continues to implement energy and water conservation measures, such as retrofitting lighting and water fixtures to more efficient technology. All of these initiatives enhance the properties’ environmental performance and many of them reduce operating costs, benefiting the Company's tenants and shareholders. Management strives to maintain the highest levels of integrity and ethical business practices in all that it does. The Company’s governance structure, Code of Conduct and Ethics, and all of its employee guidelines and policies are aimed at ensuring that all employees remain good corporate citizens focused on building the long-term value of the Company.

FIRST CAPITAL REALTY ANNUAL REPORT 2016 10 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – continued BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS REVIEW Real Estate Investments Investment Property Categories The Company categorizes its properties for the purposes of evaluating operating performance including Same Property NOI. This enables the Company to better reflect its development, redevelopment and repositioning activities on its properties, including land use intensification, and its completed and planned disposition activities. In addition, the Company revises comparative information to reflect property categories consistent with current period status. The property categories are as follows: Investment properties – shopping centres – Same Property consisting of: Same Property – stable – includes stable properties where the only significant activities are leasing and ongoing maintenance. Properties that will be undergoing a redevelopment in a future period, including adjacent parcels of land, and those having planning activities underway are also in this category until such development activities commence. At that time, the property will be reclassified to either Same Property with redevelopment or to major redevelopment. Same Property with redevelopment – includes properties that are largely stable, including adjacent parcels of land, but are undergoing incremental redevelopment or expansion activities (pads or building extensions) which intensify the land use. Such redevelopment activities often include façade, parking, lighting and building upgrades. Major redevelopment – includes properties in planning or undergoing multi-year redevelopment projects with significant intensification, reconfiguration and building and tenant upgrades. Ground-up development – consists of new construction, either on a vacant land parcel typically situated in an urban area or on an urban land site with conversion of an existing vacant building to retail use. Acquisitions and dispositions – consists of properties acquired during the period including those in close proximity to existing shopping centres. Dispositions include information for properties disposed of in the period. Investment properties classified as held for sale – consists of properties that meet the held for sale criteria under IFRS. Investment properties – development land – comprises land sites where there are no development activities underway, except for those in the planning stage. The Company has applied the above property categorization to the fair value, capital expenditures as well as leasing and occupancy activity on its shopping centre portfolio, and to its Same Property NOI analysis to further assist in understanding the Company’s real estate activities and its operating and financial performance. 11 FIRST CAPITAL REALTY ANNUAL REPORT 2016 Reconciliation of Consolidated Balance Sheets to the Company's Proportionate Interest Proportionate interest is not an IFRS measure, but is defined by Management as the Company’s proportionate share of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities in all of its real estate investments. This presentation is reflected throughout this MD&A to include the Company’s two equity accounted joint ventures, net of non-controlling interests, and its share of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities at the Company’s ownership interest. Management presents the proportionate share of the Company's interests in its two joint ventures in the determination of many key performance measures. Management views this method as relevant in demonstrating the Company's ability to manage and monitor the underlying financial performance and cash flows of the related investments. This presentation also depicts the extent to which the underlying assets are leveraged, which are included in the Company's debt metrics. The following table provides a reconciliation of the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, as presented in its audited annual consolidated financial statements to its proportionate interest.

FIRST CAPITAL REALTY ANNUAL REPORT 2016 12 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – continued Portfolio Overview As at December 31, 2016, the Company had interests in 160 investment properties – shopping centres, which were 95.0% occupied with a total GLA of 25.3 million square feet and a fair value of $8.6 billion. This compares to 158 investment properties – shopping centres, which were 94.8% occupied with a total GLA of 24.4 million square feet and a fair value of $8.0 billion as at December 31, 2015. As at December 31, 2016, the average size of the shopping centres is approximately 158,000 square feet, ranging from approximately 9,200 to over 574,000 square feet. The Same Property portfolio includes shopping centres sub-categorized in Same Property – stable and Same Property with redevelopment. The Same Property portfolio is comprised of 143 properties with a GLA of 21.3 million square feet and a fair value of $6.7 billion. These properties represent 89.4% of the Company's property count, 84.4% of its GLA and 78.4% of its fair value and generated $360.1 million in NOI for the year ended December 31, 2016 or 84.3% of the Company's total NOI. The balance of the Company’s real estate assets consists of shopping centres with significant value enhancement opportunities which are in various stages of redevelopment, shopping centres acquired in 2016 or 2015 and properties in close proximity to them, as well as properties held for sale.

In addition, the Company also incurs expenditures for the purposes of expansion, redevelopment and development activities. Revenue sustaining capital expenditures are required for maintaining the Company’s shopping centre infrastructure and revenues from leasing of existing space. Revenue sustaining capital expenditures are generally not recoverable from tenants. However, certain leases provide the ability to recover from tenants, over time, a portion of capital expenditures 17 FIRST CAPITAL REALTY ANNUAL REPORT 2016 to maintain the physical aspects of the Company’s shopping centres. Revenue sustaining capital expenditures generally include tenant improvement costs related to new and renewal leasing, and capital expenditures required to maintain the physical aspects of the shopping centres, such as roof replacements and resurfacing of parking lots. Revenue enhancing capital expenditures are those expenditures that increase the revenue generating ability of the Company’s shopping centres. Revenue enhancing capital expenditures are incurred in conjunction with or in contemplation of a development or redevelopment strategy, a strategic repositioning after an acquisition, or in advance of a planned disposition to maximize the potential sale price. The Company owns and actively seeks to acquire older, well- located shopping centres in urban locations, where expenditures tend to be higher when they are subsequently repaired or redeveloped to meet the Company’s standards. The Company also considers property age, the potential effects on occupancy and future rent per square foot, the time leasable space has been vacant and other factors when assessing whether a capital expenditure is revenue enhancing or sustaining. Capital expenditures incurred in development and redevelopment projects include pre-development costs, direct construction costs, leasing costs, tenant improvements, borrowing costs, and overhead including applicable salaries and other direct costs of internal staff directly attributable to the projects under active development. Capital expenditures on investment properties by type and property category are summarized in the table below: Year ended December 31 Revenue sustaining Revenue enhancing Expenditures recoverable from tenants Development expenditures Total Total Same Property Other Property Categories 13,915 $ 33,332 10,048 22,116 79,411 $ — $ 10,956 4,009 123,742 138,707 $ $ $ 2016 Total 13,915 $ 44,288 14,057 145,858 218,118 $ 2015 Total 18,394 46,875 10,268 200,439 275,976 During the year ended December 31, 2016, capital expenditures totaled $218.1 million compared to $276.0 million for the prior year. The $57.9 million decrease was primarily the result of lower development expenditures related to the large ground-up and major redevelopment projects currently underway including Yorkville Village, King High Line and The Edmonton Brewery District. In addition, revenue sustaining expenditures decreased by $4.5 million over the prior year primarily as a result of a major infrastructure project that was undertaken and completed in 2015. Valuation of Investment Properties During the year ended December 31, 2016, the weighted average stabilized capitalization rate of the Company’s investment property portfolio decreased from 5.7% as at December 31, 2015 to 5.5%, primarily due to overall compression in capitalization rates and the impact of acquisitions during the period. The Company’s proportionate interest in the net increase in value of investment properties was $222.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. The values of the Company’s proportionate interest in its shopping centres and associated capitalization rates by region were as follows as at December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015: As at December 31, 2016 (millions of dollars) Central Region Eastern Region Western Region Total or Weighted Average Capitalization Rate Number of Properties Weighted Average 61 50 49 160 5.3% 5.9% 5.3% 5.5% Median Range Fair Value 5.5% 6.0% 5.5% 5.8% 4.1%-7.0% $ 5.0%-7.0% 4.3%-6.5% 4.1%-7.0% $ 3,712 1,881 2,971 8,564 FIRST CAPITAL REALTY ANNUAL REPORT 2016 18 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – continued As at December 31, 2015 (millions of dollars) Central Region Eastern Region Western Region Total or Weighted Average Properties Under Development Capitalization Rate Number of Properties Weighted Average 59 52 47 158 5.5% 6.1% 5.5% 5.7% Median Range Fair Value 5.8% 6.0% 5.8% 5.8% 4.5%-7.5% $ 5.3%-7.5% 4.5%-6.5% 4.5%-7.5% $ 3,371 1,876 2,729 7,976 Development and redevelopment activities are completed selectively, based on opportunities in the Company’s properties or in the markets where the Company operates. The Company’s development activities include redevelopment on stable properties, major redevelopment, and ground-up projects. Additionally, properties under development include land with future development potential. All development activities are strategically managed to reduce risk, and properties are generally developed after obtaining anchor tenant lease commitments. Individual buildings within a development are generally constructed only after obtaining commitments on a substantial portion of the space. Development Pipeline The Company has identified approximately 13.8 million square feet of incremental density available in the portfolio for future development of which 0.5 million square feet is currently under development. A breakdown of the active development and incremental density within the portfolio by component and type is as follows: As at December 31, 2016 Active Development Same Property with redevelopment Major redevelopment Ground-up development Future uncommitted incremental density Medium term Long term Total development pipeline (1) At the Company's proportionate interest.

The Company’s course of action for each property may include selling the property, selling the residential density rights, entering into a joint venture with a partner to develop the property or undertaking the development of the property on its own. The majority of this density is expected to commence development over the medium term (within approximately seven years). In addition to the Company's development pipeline, information regarding the development potential of the Company's Main and Main Developments joint venture can be found in the "Main and Main Developments" section of this MD&A. 19 FIRST CAPITAL REALTY ANNUAL REPORT 2016 Invested Cost of Properties Under Development As at December 31, 2016, the Company had $541.0 million of properties under development and development land parcels at invested cost, representing approximately 6.2% of the value of the total portfolio.

(3) At the Company's proportionate interest. 2016 Development and Redevelopment Coming Online and Space Going Offline Development and redevelopment coming online includes both leased and unleased space transferred from development to income-producing properties at completion of construction. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company completed the transfer of 288,000 square feet of new urban retail space from development to the income-producing portfolio at a cost of $165.3 million. Of the space transfered, 264,000 square feet became occupied at an average rental rate of $31.96 per square foot, well above the average rate for the portfolio of $19.39, thus realizing on the growth potential through development and redevelopment activities. The remainder of the space transferred is expected to be leased in the next 12 months. In addition, the Company transferred $24.0 million of space from development to income producing property related to Yorkville Village for which the Company did not attribute any GLA. The Company expects to earn ancillary revenue from these common areas, through several initiatives, including kiosks, pop-up shops and events held in this space. Included in this space is "The Lane" (the new entrance from Yorkville Avenue into the property), the food hall, as well as other common areas. For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company had tenant closures for redevelopment of 48,000 square feet at an average rental rate of $17.54 per square foot. Of the 48,000 square feet, 22,000 square feet was demolished. Active Development and Redevelopment Activities The Company’s properties with development and redevelopment activities currently in progress are expected to have a weighted average going-in NOI yield of 5.3% upon completion. This yield is derived from the expected going-in run rate based on stabilized leasing and operations following completion of the development, and includes all building cost, land cost, interest and other carrying costs, as well as capitalized staff compensation and other expenses. However, actual rates of return could differ if development costs are higher than current forecasted costs, if final lease terms are lower than forecasted base rent, operating cost or property tax recoveries, or if there are other unforeseen events that cause actual results to differ from assumptions. The quality of the Company’s construction is consistent with its strategy of long-term ownership and value creation, and factors in the Company's high standards in construction, lighting, parking, access, pedestrian amenities, accessibility, as well as development to LEED standards. Development and redevelopment projects may occur in phases with the completed component of the project included in income-producing properties and the incomplete component included in properties under development. The following tables show this split, where applicable, by showing the total invested cost in two categories: under development and income-producing property. In addition, the following tables reflect square footage at 100% of the space under development and invested cost at the Company's proportionate share. FIRST CAPITAL REALTY ANNUAL REPORT 2016 20 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – continued Same Property with Redevelopment The Company currently has three projects under active development in the Same Property with redevelopment property category.

Other - Current Year Acquisition In addition to the projects listed above, the Company has also commenced a project at Cliffcrest Plaza, a property acquired in the second quarter of 2016. The project is for an 8,000 square foot pad to be occupied by an LCBO for a total cost of approximately $3.4 million. The costs to complete the project are $2.0 million and the project is expected to be completed in the first half of 2017. Costs to Complete Active and Redevelopment Activities Costs to complete the development, redevelopment and expansion activities underway are estimated to be approximately $161 million. Costs to complete Same Property related developments and Cliffcrest Plaza are planned at $17 million. Costs to complete major redevelopments and ground-up developments, are both planned at $50 million each in 2017, and $26 million and $18 million, respectively, thereafter. Main and Main Developments The Company has an interest in a Toronto and Ottawa urban development partnership (known as M+M Urban Realty LP (“Main and Main Urban Realty”)) between the Company, Main and Main Developments (itself, a joint venture between the Company and a private developer) and a prominent Canadian institutional investor. The partners of Main and Main Urban Realty have collectively committed a total of $320.0 million of equity capital for current and future growth and the development of the Main and Main Urban Realty portfolio, of which First Capital Realty’s direct and indirect commitment is approximately $167.0 million (of which $120.3 million has been invested as at December 31, 2016).

NOI is commonly used as a primary method for analyzing real estate performance in Canada and, in Management's opinion, is useful in analyzing the operating performance of the Company’s shopping centre portfolio. NOI is not a measure defined by IFRS and as such, there is no standard definition. As a result, NOI may not be comparable with similar measures presented by other entities.

For the three months ended December 31, 2016, Total Same Property NOI increased by $2.0 million or 2.2% to $91.1 million from $89.1 million primarily due to rent escalations, increased occupancy driving higher rents and lower other operating costs. For the year ended December 31, 2016, Total Same Property NOI increased by $4.1 million or 1.1% to $360.1 million from $356.0 million primarily due to rent escalations, lease renewals at higher rates, and lower other operating costs, partially offset by lower lease surrender fees compared to the prior year. 31 FIRST CAPITAL REALTY ANNUAL REPORT 2016 For the three months and year ended December 31, 2016, total NOI increased by $3.1 million and $12.3 million, respectively, compared to prior year periods primarily due to the net contribution from acquisitions and dispositions completed, Same Property NOI growth as well as the impact of developments coming online in the current year.

Interest and Other Income For the three months and year ended December 31, 2016, the Company's proportionate share of interest and other income totaled $7.0 million and $19.4 million, compared to $4.0 million and $17.6 million, respectively, for the same prior year periods. The increase of $1.8 million over the prior year is primarily due to interest earned on the Company's outstanding loans, deposits and mortgages, offset by lower interest and dividends earned on the Company's marketable securities. FIRST CAPITAL REALTY ANNUAL REPORT 2016 32 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – continued Interest Expense The Company’s proportionate share of interest expense by type is as follows: Mortgages Credit facilities Senior unsecured debentures Convertible debentures (non-cash) Interest capitalized Interest expense $ $ Three months ended December 31 2015 12,330 1,874 2016 12,130 1,584 $ $ Year ended December 31 2015 51,654 4,410 2016 48,965 7,385 $ 29,602 3,192 (5,564) 40,944 26,999 5,177 (4,603) 41,777 $ 112,023 14,603 (22,304) 106,844 22,118 (20,839) $ 160,672 $ 164,187 For the three months and year ended December 31, 2016, interest expense decreased by $0.8 million and $3.5 million, respectively, primarily due to the early redemption of higher rate convertible debentures in the current and prior years, partially offset by the impact of new lower rate senior unsecured debenture issuances. During the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, approximately 12.2% and 11.3% of interest expense was capitalized to real estate investments for properties undergoing development or redevelopment projects. Amounts capitalized are dependent on interest expense paid, on the phase and magnitude of development and redevelopment projects actively underway as well as the portfolio weighted average interest rate. The increase in capitalized interest over the prior year is due to higher cumulative development expenditure. Corporate Expenses The Company's proportionate share of corporate expenses is as follows: Salaries, wages and benefits Non-cash compensation Other corporate costs Total corporate expenses Amounts capitalized to investment properties under development Three months ended December 31 Year ended December 31 $ $ 2016 7,391 1,004 3,031 11,426 (1,664) $ 2015 6,645 673 3,057 10,375 (2,055) 2016 26,593 3,469 10,216 40,278 (6,437) $ 2015 28,513 2,941 11,182 42,636 (7,931) Corporate expenses $ 9,762 $ 8,320 $ 33,841 $ 34,705 For the year ended December 31, 2016, corporate expenses decreased by $0.9 million to $33.8 million compared to the prior year primarily due to lower employee compensation expense of $1.9 million as a result of the organizational restructuring completed in 2015. Other corporate costs were also lower by $1.0 million over the prior year as a result of the restructuring, and certain non-recurring costs incurred in 2015. The Company manages all of its acquisitions, development and redevelopment and leasing activities internally. Certain internal costs directly related to development, including salaries and related costs for planning, zoning, construction and so forth, are capitalized in accordance with IFRS to development projects as incurred. During the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, approximately 17.5% and 20.0%, respectively, of compensation-related and other corporate expenses were capitalized to real estate investments for properties undergoing development or redevelopment projects. Amounts capitalized are based on development and pre-development projects underway. Changes in capitalized corporate expenses are primarily the result of timing of completion of development and redevelopment projects and the Company’s current level of pre-development and early redevelopment activity. 33 FIRST CAPITAL REALTY ANNUAL REPORT 2016 Other Gains (Losses) and (Expenses) The Company's proportionate share of other gains, losses and expenses is as follows: Three months ended December 31 2016 2015 Proportionate Statement of Income Included in FFO Included in AFFO Proportionate Statement of Income Included in FFO Included in AFFO Unrealized gain (loss) on marketable securities $ (123) $ (123) $ — $ 636 $ 636 $ classified as FVTPL Net gain (loss) on prepayments of debt Proceeds from Target Investment properties selling costs Restructuring costs Other Total (10) 663 46 — 55 631 $ (10) 663 — — 55 585 $ $ — 663 — — — 663 $ 2016 (71) — (64) (126) (15) 360 $ (71) — — (126) (15) 424 $ — — — — — — — Year ended December 31 2015 Proportionate Statement of Income Included in FFO Included in AFFO Proportionate Statement of Income Included in FFO Included in AFFO Realized gain (loss) on sale of marketable securities Unrealized gain (loss) on marketable securities classified as FVTPL $ 79 $ 79 $ 1,071 1,071 79 $ — 784 $ 784 $ (2,022) (2,022) Net gain (loss) on prepayments of debt Proceeds from Target Investment properties selling costs Restructuring costs Other Total (1,119) 3,813 (2,030) (1,988) (43) (217) $ (1,119) 3,813 — (1,988) (43) 1,813 $ — 3,813 — — — 3,892 $ (310) — (539) (13,085) (171) (15,343) $ (310) — — (13,085) (171) (14,804) $ $ 784 — — — — — — 784 For the three months ended December 31, 2016, the Company recognized a $0.6 million gain in its proportionate statement of income compared to a $0.4 million gain in 2015. For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company recognized a $0.2 million loss in its proportionate statement of income compared to a $15.3 million loss in the prior year. The lower loss over prior year was primarily due to lower restructuring costs of $11.1 million, related to the organizational restructuring undertaken in 2015, as well as the recognition of proceeds totaling $3.8 million under Target Canada's CCAA plan of arrangement related to the closure of two Target stores in the Company's portfolio. Income Taxes For the three months ended December 31, 2016, deferred income tax expense totaled $19.2 million compared to $10.0 million for the prior year. For the year ended December 31, 2016, deferred income tax expense totaled $90.6 million compared to $55.9 million for the prior year. The increase of $9.2 million and $34.7 million over the same prior year periods, respectively, is primarily due to the tax impact of a higher increase in fair value of investment properties over prior periods. FIRST CAPITAL REALTY ANNUAL REPORT 2016 34 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – continued Non-IFRS Supplemental Financial Measures In Management’s view, FFO and AFFO are commonly accepted and meaningful indicators of financial performance in the real estate industry. These measures are the primary metrics used in analyzing real estate organizations in Canada. FFO and AFFO are not measures defined by IFRS and, as such, neither of them has a standard definition. The Company’s method of calculating FFO and AFFO may be different from methods used by other corporations or REITs (real estate investment trusts) and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other corporations or REITs. FFO and AFFO: (i) do not represent cash flow from operating activities as defined by IFRS, (ii) are not indicative of cash available to fund all liquidity requirements, including payment of dividends and capital for growth, and (iii) are not to be considered as alternatives to IFRS net income for the purpose of evaluating operating performance. Funds from Operations The Company calculates FFO in accordance with the recommendations of the Real Property Association of Canada (“REALpac”). The use of FFO has been included for the purpose of improving the understanding of the operating results of the Company. FFO is considered a meaningful additional financial measure of operating performance, as it excludes fair value gains and losses on investment properties as well as certain other items included in the Company's net income that may not be the most appropriate determinants of the long-term operating performance of the Company, such as investment property selling costs and deferred income taxes. FFO provides a perspective on the financial performance of the Company that is not immediately apparent from net income determined in accordance with IFRS. A reconciliation from net income attributable to common shareholders to FFO can be found in the table below: Net income attributable to common shareholders Add (deduct): (Increase) decrease in value of investment properties Incremental leasing costs Investment properties selling costs Adjustment for equity accounted joint ventures Deferred income taxes Three months ended December 31 Year ended December 31 2016 57,739 $ 2015 38,947 $ 2016 382,714 $ 2015 203,865 $ (12,743) 1,671 (46) 1,019 19,184 9,154 674 64 28 9,981 (222,909) 6,657 2,030 3,480 90,572 (44,999) 3,373 539 2,636 55,851 FFO $ 66,824 $ 58,848 $ 262,544 $ 221,265 Operating FFO Management considers Operating FFO as its key operating performance measure that, when compared period over period, reflects the impact of certain factors on its core operations, such as changes in net operating income, interest expense, corporate expenses and other income. Operating FFO excludes the impact of certain items in other gains (losses) and (expenses) that are not considered part of the Company's on-going core operations. The weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding for FFO and Operating FFO is calculated assuming conversion of only those convertible debentures outstanding that would have a dilutive effect upon conversion, at the holders' contractual conversion price. 35 FIRST CAPITAL REALTY ANNUAL REPORT 2016 The components of Operating FFO and FFO at proportionate interest are as follows: Net operating income Interest and other income Interest expense (1) Corporate expenses (2) Abandoned transaction costs Amortization expense Three months ended December 31 Year ended December 31 % change 2016 2015 % change 2016 2015 $ 107,754 $ 104,658 $ 427,303 $ 415,016 7,030 (39,925) (8,091) (160) (369) 66,239 585 3,955 (41,048) (8,347) (71) (723) 58,424 424 58,848 0.26 0.26 19,418 (157,192) (27,184) (327) (1,287) 10.4% 260,731 1,813 17,640 (161,551) (31,332) (786) (2,918) 236,069 (14,804) 18.7% $ 262,544 $ 221,265 4.7% $ 12.6% $ 1.10 1.11 $ $ 1.05 0.99 Operating FFO Other gains (losses) and (expenses) (3) 13.4% FFO Operating FFO per diluted share FFO per diluted share Weighted average number of common shares – diluted – FFO (in thousands) 13.6% $ 66,824 5.0% $ 5.0% $ 0.27 0.27 $ $ $ 8.0% 244,554 226,537 5.4% 236,243 224,069 (1) Includes an adjustment to capitalize interest related to the Company's equity accounted joint ventures in accordance with the recommendations of REALpac. (2) Includes an adjustment to capitalize incremental leasing costs in accordance with the recommendations of REALpac. (3) Refer to the “Results of Operations – Other Gains (Losses) and (Expenses)” section of this MD&A. For the three months ended December 31, 2016, Operating FFO totaled $66.2 million or $0.27 per diluted share compared to $58.4 million or $0.26 per diluted share in the same prior year period. The 5.0% or $0.01 per diluted share increase was primarily due to higher NOI and interest and other income, and lower interest expense. For the three months ended December 31, 2016, FFO totaled $66.8 million or $0.27 per diluted share compared to $58.8 million or $0.26 per diluted share in the same prior year period. The 5.0% or $0.01 per diluted share increase in FFO was due to higher Operating FFO compared to the same prior year period. For the year ended December 31, 2016, Operating FFO totaled $260.7 million or $1.10 per diluted share compared to $236.1 million or $1.05 per diluted share for the prior year. The 4.7% or $0.05 per diluted share increase was primarily due to higher NOI and lower interest and corporate expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2016, FFO totaled $262.5 million or $1.11 per diluted share compared to $221.3 million or $0.99 per diluted share for the prior year. The 12.6% or $0.12 per diluted share increase in FFO was primarily due to higher Operating FFO of $24.7 million, lower restructuring costs of $11.1 million and the recognition of the proceeds from Target of $3.8 million compared to the prior year. FIRST CAPITAL REALTY ANNUAL REPORT 2016 36 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – continued Adjusted Funds from Operations and Operating AFFO AFFO is a supplementary measure that the Company uses to measure operating cash flow generated from the business. In calculating AFFO, the Company adjusts FFO for non-cash and other items including interest payable in shares, straight-line rent adjustment, non-cash compensation expense, Same Property capital expenditures and leasing costs for maintaining shopping centre infrastructures and certain other gains or losses. Residential inventory pre-sale costs are recognized in AFFO when the Company recognizes revenue from the sale of residential units. In addition, the Company calculates Operating AFFO by excluding from AFFO the effects of certain other gains (losses) and (expenses) that are not deemed part of the Company's on-going core operations. The weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding for AFFO is adjusted to assume conversion of all the outstanding convertible debentures, calculated using the holders’ contractual conversion price to be consistent with the treatment of the interest expense payable in shares in AFFO. Operating AFFO and AFFO are calculated as follows: Operating FFO Add (deduct): Interest expense payable in shares Straight-line rent adjustment Non-cash compensation expense Same Property revenue sustaining capital expenditures (1) Costs not capitalized during development period (2) Other adjustments Operating AFFO Other gains (losses) and (expenses) (3) AFFO Operating AFFO per diluted share AFFO per diluted share Weighted average number of common shares – diluted – AFFO (in thousands) Three months ended December 31 Year ended December 31 % change 2016 2015 % change 2016 2015 $ 66,239 $ 58,424 $ 260,731 $ 236,069 3,192 (910) 1,069 (3,381) 1,145 (77) 5,177 (1,313) 730 (4,097) 643 (66) 14,603 (5,861) 3,698 22,118 (4,927) 3,098 (16,838) (17,574) 5,010 (366) 4,317 (293) 13.1% $ 67,277 $ 59,498 7.5% $ 260,977 $ 242,808 663 — 3,892 784 14.2% $ 67,940 $ 59,498 8.7% $ 264,869 $ 243,592 7.7% $ 8.5% $ 0.27 $ 0.27 $ 0.25 0.25 4.4% $ 5.7% $ 1.07 $ 1.08 $ 1.02 1.03 5.3% 253,119 240,409 2.9% 244,623 237,633 (1) Estimated at $0.79 per square foot per annum (2015 – $0.85) on average gross leasable area of same properties (based on an estimated three-year weighted average). (2) The Company has added back costs not capitalized during the development period for accounting purposes that, in Management’s view forms part of the cost of its development projects. (3) Refer to the “Results of Operations – Other Gains (Losses) and (Expenses)” section of this MD&A. For the three months ended December 31, 2016, Operating AFFO increased by 7.7% or $0.02 per diluted share. For the year ended December 31, 2016, Operating AFFO increased 4.4% or $0.05 per diluted share. The increase was primarily due to higher Operating FFO partially offset by a lower adjustment for interest expense payable in shares as a result of the convertible debenture redemptions in the current and prior years. For the three months and year ended December 31, 2016, AFFO per share increased primarily due to higher Operating AFFO and the recognition of the proceeds from Target in the second and fourth quarters. 37 FIRST CAPITAL REALTY ANNUAL REPORT 2016 A reconciliation of cash provided by operating activities to AFFO is presented below: Cash provided by operating activities Adjustments for equity accounted joint ventures Realized gain (loss) on sale of marketable securities Incremental leasing costs Net change in non-cash operating items Adjustments for residential inventory Amortization expense Non-cash interest expense Costs not capitalized during development period Same Property revenue sustaining capital expenditures Cash component of restructuring costs Other adjustments Three months ended December 31 Year ended December 31 $ $ 2016 96,950 2,060 — 1,671 (27,475) — (369) (2,637) 1,145 (3,381) — (24) 2015 84,757 801 — 674 (17,554) — (708) (5,023) 643 (4,097) 68 (63) $ $ 2016 256,598 7,034 79 6,657 8,706 18 (1,287) (2,758) 5,010 (16,838) 1,988 (338) 2015 244,433 5,287 784 3,373 (563) 208 (2,892) 539 4,317 (17,574) 5,972 (292) AFFO $ 67,940 $ 59,498 $ 264,869 $ 243,592 CAPITAL STRUCTURE AND LIQUIDITY Total Capital Employed The real estate business is capital intensive by nature. The Company’s capital structure is key to financing growth and providing sustainable cash dividends to shareholders. In the real estate industry, financial leverage is used to enhance rates of return on invested capital. Management believes that the combination of debt and equity in First Capital Realty’s capital structure provides stability and reduces risk, while generating an acceptable return on investment, taking into account the long-term business strategy of the Company.

Equity $ $ capitalization is the market value of the Company's shares outstanding at a point in time. Enterprise value is the sum of the Company's total debt on a proportionate basis and its equity capitalization. FIRST CAPITAL REALTY ANNUAL REPORT 2016 38 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – continued Key Metrics The ratios below include measures not specifically defined by IFRS: As at Weighted average effective interest rate on mortgages and senior unsecured debentures Weighted average maturity on mortgages and senior unsecured debentures (years) Net debt to total assets (1) Net debt to EBITDA (1) Unencumbered aggregate assets Unencumbered aggregate assets to unsecured debt, based on fair value EBITDA interest coverage (1) December 31, 2016 December 31, 2015 4.5% 5.3 42.6% 9.1 6,627,091 2.4 2.5 4.7% 5.5 42.9% 8.7 5,783,452 2.3 2.5 (1) Calculated with all joint ventures proportionately consolidated. Measures used in these ratios are defined below: • Debt consists of principal amounts outstanding on credit facilities and mortgages, and the par value of senior unsecured debentures. Convertible debentures are excluded as the Company has the option to satisfy its obligations of principal and interest payments in respect of all of its outstanding convertible debentures by the issuance of common shares; • Net debt is calculated as Debt, as defined above, reduced by cash balances at the end of the period; • EBITDA, as adjusted, is calculated as net income, adding back income tax expense, interest expense and amortization and excluding the increase or decrease in the value of investment properties, other gains (losses) and (expenses) and other non-cash or non-recurring items. The Company also adjusts for incremental leasing costs and costs not capitalized during the development period, which are recognized adjustments to FFO and AFFO, respectively. • Unencumbered assets include the value of assets that have not been pledged as security under any credit agreement or mortgage. The unencumbered asset value ratio is calculated as unencumbered assets divided by the principal amount of the unsecured debt, which consists of the bank indebtedness, unsecured credit facilities and senior unsecured debentures. Credit Ratings Since November 2012, DBRS has rated the Company’s senior unsecured debentures as BBB (high) with a stable trend. According to DBRS, a credit rating in the BBB category is generally an indication of adequate credit quality and an acceptable capacity for the payment of financial obligations. DBRS indicates that BBB rated obligations may be vulnerable to future events. A rating trend, expressed as positive, stable or negative, provides guidance in respect of DBRS’ opinion regarding the outlook for the rating in question. Since November 2012, Moody’s has rated the Company’s senior unsecured debentures as Baa2 with a stable outlook. As defined by Moody’s, a credit rating of Baa2 denotes that these debentures are subject to moderate credit risk and are of medium grade and, as such, may possess certain speculative characteristics. A rating outlook provided by Moody’s, expressed as positive, stable, negative or developing, is an opinion regarding the outlook for the rating in question over the medium term. 39 FIRST CAPITAL REALTY ANNUAL REPORT 2016 Consolidated Debt and Principal Maturity Profile The maturity profile of the Company’s proportionate share of its mortgages and credit facilities as well as its senior unsecured debentures as at December 31, 2016 is summarized in the table below: 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 Add (deduct): unamortized deferred financing costs, premiums and discounts, net $ Mortgages 111,112 $ 151,418 128,380 65,914 91,719 161,270 11,440 72,152 64,166 183,966 1,041,537 996 Credit Facilities/Bank Indebtedness 58,160 $ 54,793 11,875 153,451 45,914 — — — — — 324,193 — Senior Unsecured Debentures 250,000 150,000 150,000 175,000 175,000 450,000 300,000 300,000 300,000 300,000 2,550,000 (3,558) $ Total 419,272 356,211 290,255 394,365 312,633 611,270 311,440 372,152 364,166 483,966 3,915,730 (2,562) % Due 10.7% 9.1% 7.4% 10.1% 8.0% 15.5% 8.0% 9.5% 9.3% 12.4% 100.0% Total $ 1,042,533 $ 324,193 $ 2,546,442 $ 3,913,168 The Company’s strategy is to manage its long-term debt by staggering maturity dates in order to mitigate risk associated with short-term volatility in the debt markets. The Company also intends to maintain financial strength to achieve a reasonable cost of debt and equity capital over the long term. When it is deemed appropriate, the Company will raise equity as a source of financing and may strategically sell non-core assets to best redeploy capital and take advantage of market opportunities. Mortgages The changes in the Company’s mortgages during the year ended December 31, 2016, including its proportionate share of mortgages in equity accounted joint ventures, are set out below: Year ended December 31, 2016 Balance at beginning of year Mortgage borrowings Mortgage repayments Scheduled amortization on mortgages Amortization of financing costs and net premium Balance at end of year Amount 1,026,752 203,400 (155,645) (29,325) (2,649) 1,042,533 $ $ Weighted Average Effective Interest Rate 4.5% 3.2% 4.0% — — 4.3% As at December 31, 2016, 100% (December 31, 2015 – 100%) of the outstanding mortgages bore interest at fixed interest rates.

The Company has the flexibility under its unsecured credit facilities to draw funds based on Canadian bank prime rates, and Canadian bankers’ acceptances (“BA rates”) for Canadian dollar-denominated borrowings, and LIBOR rates or U.S. prime rates for U.S. dollar-denominated borrowings. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had drawn CAD$30.0 million and US$114.3 million, as well as CAD$15.9 million in bank indebtedness on its unsecured credit facilities. Concurrently with the U.S. dollar draws, the Company entered into cross currency swaps to exchange its U.S. dollar borrowings into Canadian dollar borrowings. During the first quarter, the Company completed an extension of one of its secured construction facilities from March 31, 2016 to March 31, 2017 and effective June 30, 2016, the Company extended the maturity of its $800 million unsecured facility to June 30, 2021 on substantially the same terms. In September 2016, the Company entered into two secured facilities totaling $19.4 million, at the Company's proportionate interest, maturing between 2018 and 2019. In the fourth quarter, the Company entered into a new unsecured facility with a borrowing capacity of CAD$150 million, key terms of which are presented in the table below. 41 FIRST CAPITAL REALTY ANNUAL REPORT 2016 The Company’s credit facilities, including its proportionate share of facilities under the equity accounted joint ventures, as at December 31, 2016 are summarized in the table below: As at December 31, 2016 Unsecured operating facilities Borrowing Capacity Amounts Drawn Bank Indebtedness and Outstanding Letters of Credit Available to be Drawn Interest Rates Maturity Date Revolving facility maturing $ 800,000 $ (30,000) $ (46,615) $ 723,385 150,000 (153,451) — — BA + 1.20% or Prime + 0.20% or US$ LIBOR + 1.20% BA + 1.20% or Prime + 0.20% or US$ LIBOR + 1.20% June 30, 2021 October 30, 2020 2021 Non-revolving facility maturing 2020 (1) Secured construction facilities Maturing 2018 115,000 (40,870) (1,475) 72,655 Maturing 2017 7,953 (7,785) Credit facilities under equity accounted joint ventures 69,114 (56,798) Secured Facilities Maturing 2019 11,875 (11,875) Maturing 2018 7,500 (7,500) — — — — 168 12,316 BA + 1.125% or Prime + 0.125% BA + 1.125% or Prime + 0.125% February 13, 2018 March 31, 2017 Between Prime - 0.15% and Prime + 1.5% Between January 2017 and March 2018 — — BA + 1.125% or Prime + 0.125% BA + 1.125% or Prime + 0.125% September 27, 2019 September 6, 2018 Total $ 1,161,442 $ (308,279) $ (48,090) $ 808,524 (1) The Company had drawn in US dollars the equivalent of CAD$150.0 million which was revalued at CAD$153.5 million as at December 31, 2016, as such the Company is in compliance with its borrowing capacity.

The full redemption price and any accrued interest owing on each series of convertible debentures was satisfied 50% by the issuance of common shares and 50% in cash. On December 22, 2016, the Company provided a notice of redemption to the holders of the remaining 5.40% Series E and 5.25% Series F convertible debentures that the entire principal amount outstanding plus accrued interest would be redeemed in cash on January 31, 2017. (iii) Normal Course Issuer Bid ("NCIB") Effective August 29, 2016, the Company renewed its NCIB for all of its then outstanding series of convertible debentures. The NCIB will expire on August 28, 2017 or such earlier date as First Capital Realty completes its purchases pursuant to the NCIB. All purchases made under the NCIB are at market prices prevailing at the time of purchase. For the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, principal amounts of convertible debentures purchased and amounts paid for the purchases are summarized in the table below: Year ended December 31 Total 2016 2015 Principal Amount Purchased 4,048 $ Amount Paid $ 4,102 $ Principal Amount Purchased 12,289 Amount Paid $ 12,436 43 FIRST CAPITAL REALTY ANNUAL REPORT 2016 Shareholders’ Equity Shareholders’ equity amounted to $4.2 billion as at December 31, 2016, compared to $3.6 billion as at December 31, 2015. As at December 31, 2016, the Company had 243.5 million (December 31, 2015 – 225.5 million) issued and outstanding common shares with a stated capital of $3.1 billion (December 31, 2015 – $2.8 billion). During the year ended December 31, 2016, a total of 18.0 million common shares were issued as follows: 13.1 million from public offerings, 3.1 million shares from the redemption of the series G and H convertible debentures, 1.1 million shares from the exercise of common share options and 0.7 million shares for interest payments on convertible debentures. As at February 13, 2017, there were 243.5 million common shares outstanding. Share Purchase Options As at December 31, 2016, the Company had 4.2 million share purchase options outstanding, with an average exercise price of $18.15, which, if exercised, would result in the Company receiving proceeds of $76.3 million. Liquidity Liquidity risk exists due to the possibility of the Company not being able to generate sufficient cash flow, and/or not having access to sufficient debt and equity capital to fund its ongoing operations and growth and to refinance or meet existing payment obligations. The Company manages its liquidity risk by staggering debt maturities, renegotiating expiring credit arrangements proactively, using revolving credit facilities, maintaining a large pool of unencumbered assets, and issuing equity when deemed appropriate. Sources of liquidity primarily consist of cash flow from operations, cash and cash equivalents, and available capacity under the Company’s existing revolving credit facilities. If necessary, the Company is also able to obtain financing on its unencumbered assets. The following table summarizes the Company's liquidity position: As at (millions of dollars) Total available under credit facilities Cash and cash equivalents Unencumbered aggregate assets December 31, 2016 December 31, 2015 $ $ $ 809 12 6,627 $ $ $ 673 9 5,783 The Company has historically used mortgages, credit facilities, senior unsecured debentures, convertible debentures and equity issuances to finance its growth and repay debt. The actual level and type of future borrowings will be determined based on prevailing interest rates, various costs of debt and equity capital, capital market conditions and Management’s view of the appropriate leverage in the business. Management believes that it has sufficient resources to meet its operational and investing requirements in the near and longer term based on the availability of capital in various markets. Planned and completed financings subsequent to December 31, 2016, and availability on existing credit facilities, address substantially all of the contractual 2017 debt maturities and contractually committed costs to complete current development projects. Cash Flows Cash flow from operating activities represents the Company's primary source of liquidity for servicing debt and funding planned revenue sustaining expenditures, corporate expenses and dividends to shareholders. Interest and other income and cash on hand are other sources of liquidity.

Management defines this measure as cash flow from operating activities adjusted for the net change in non-cash operating items, receipt of proceeds from sales of residential inventory and expenditures on residential development inventory. Three months ended December 31 2015 2016 Cash provided by operating activities Net change in non-cash operating items Expenditures on residential development inventory Adjusted cash flow from operating activities $ $ 96,950 (27,475) — 69,475 $ $ 84,757 (17,554) — 67,203 $ $ Year ended December 31 2015 2016 244,433 256,598 (563) 8,706 52 — 243,922 265,304 $ $ For the year ended December 31, 2016, adjusted cash flow from operating activities improved by $21.4 million primarily due to higher NOI of $12.1 million, lower cash restructuring costs of $4.0 million and higher interest and other income of $1.9 million. Contractual Obligations An analysis of the Company’s contractual maturities of its material financial liabilities and other contractual commitments, at its proportionate share, as at December 31, 2016 is set out below: Scheduled mortgage principal amortization Mortgage principal repayments on maturity Credit facilities and bank indebtedness Senior unsecured debentures Convertible debentures Interest obligations (1) Land leases (expiring between 2023 and 2061) Contractually committed costs to complete current development projects Other committed costs Total contractual obligations (2) Payments due by period 2017 2018 to 2019 2020 to 2021 Thereafter Total $ 28,210 $ 82,902 63,510 250,000 108,147 161,771 964 59,802 46,014 $ 38,378 $ 46,692 $ 233,784 61,318 300,000 — 268,151 1,958 5,818 119,255 199,365 350,000 — 199,463 1,968 — 446,302 — 1,650,000 — 206,467 15,219 — 159,294 882,243 324,193 2,550,000 108,147 835,852 20,109 65,620 — $ 755,306 $ 15,806 932,849 $ — 15,806 908,429 $ 2,364,680 $ 4,961,264 — (1) Interest obligations include expected interest payments on mortgages and credit facilities as at December 31, 2016 (assuming balances remain outstanding through to maturity) and senior unsecured debentures, as well as standby credit facility fees. (2) The Company has the option to satisfy its obligations of principal and interest payments in respect of all of its outstanding convertible debentures by the issuance of common shares and, as such, convertible debentures have been excluded from this table unless the Company has disclosed its intention to settle in cash. The Company has $48.2 million of bank overdrafts and outstanding letters of credit issued by financial institutions to support certain of the Company’s contractual obligations. The Company’s estimated cost to complete properties currently under development is $167.5 million, of which $65.6 million is contractually committed. The balance of the costs to complete will only be committed once leases are signed and/or construction is underway. These contractual and potential obligations primarily consist of construction contracts and additional planned development expenditures and are expected to be funded in the normal course as the work is completed. Contingencies The Company is involved in litigation and claims which arise from time to time in the normal course of business. In the opinion of Management, none of these contingencies, individually or in the aggregate, would result in a liability that would have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the Company. The Company is contingently liable, jointly and severally, for approximately $108.1 million (December 31, 2015 – $78.4 million) to various lenders in connection with certain obligations, including loans advanced to its partners secured by the partners’ interest in the entity and underlying assets. 45 FIRST CAPITAL REALTY ANNUAL REPORT 2016 DIVIDENDS The Company has paid regular quarterly dividends to common shareholders since it commenced operations as a public company in 1994. Dividends on the common shares are declared at the discretion of the Board of Directors and are set from time to time after taking into consideration the Company’s capital requirements, its alternative sources of capital and common industry cash distribution practices.

All such current and future wholly owned subsidiaries will provide a guarantee of the debentures. In the case of default by First Capital Realty, the indenture trustee will, subject to the indenture, be entitled to seek redress from such wholly owned subsidiaries for the guaranteed obligations in the same manner and upon the same terms that it may seek to enforce the obligations of First Capital Realty. These guarantees are intended to eliminate structural subordination, which arises as a consequence of a significant portion of First Capital Realty’s assets being held in various subsidiaries. The following tables present select consolidating summary information for the Company for the periods identified below presented separately for (i) First Capital Realty (denoted as FCR); (ii) guarantor subsidiaries; (iii) non-guarantor subsidiaries; (iv) consolidation adjustments; and (v) the total consolidated amounts.

First Quarter Dividend The Company announced that it will pay a first quarter dividend of $0.215 per common share on April 11, 2017 to shareholders of record on March 29, 2017. 47 FIRST CAPITAL REALTY ANNUAL REPORT 2016 QUARTERLY FINANCIAL INFORMATION (share counts in thousands) Property rental revenue Net operating income Net income attributable to common shareholders Net income per share attributable to common shareholders: Basic Diluted Weighted average number of diluted common shares outstanding – IFRS Cash provided by operating activities Operating FFO Operating FFO per diluted share FFO FFO per diluted share Weighted average number of diluted common shares outstanding – FFO Operating AFFO Operating AFFO per diluted share AFFO AFFO per diluted share Weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding – AFFO Dividend Total assets 2016 2015 Q4 Q3 Q2 Q1 Q4 Q3 Q2 Q1 $ 172,731 $ 167,877 $ 167,576 $ 168,100 $ 164,244 $ 160,639 $ 166,249 $ 163,661 106,306 107,612 105,083 102,996 103,295 102,585 104,233 99,780 57,739 88,464 169,556 66,957 38,947 24,750 94,267 45,901 $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ 0.24 0.24 252,602 96,950 66,239 0.27 66,824 0.27 244,554 67,277 0.27 67,940 0.27 $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ 0.37 0.36 250,596 68,607 68,789 0.29 67,451 0.28 240,708 67,756 0.27 67,756 0.27 $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ 0.73 0.71 243,235 42,704 64,200 0.28 66,368 0.29 233,014 63,383 0.28 66,533 0.28 $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ 0.30 0.29 243,467 48,339 61,504 0.27 61,902 0.27 226,692 62,563 0.26 62,642 0.26 $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ 0.17 0.17 226,537 84,757 58,424 0.26 58,848 0.26 226,537 59,498 0.25 59,498 0.25 $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ 0.11 0.11 225,536 59,811 61,651 0.27 47,477 0.21 225,537 62,306 0.26 62,306 0.26 $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ 0.42 0.41 241,494 62,172 60,940 0.27 59,509 0.27 223,298 63,905 0.27 63,824 0.27 $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ 0.21 0.21 223,652 37,696 55,054 0.25 55,432 0.25 220,861 57,095 0.24 57,960 0.24 253,119 249,282 241,598 240,440 240,409 239,504 237,381 237,315 0.215 $ 0.215 $ 0.215 $ 0.215 $ 0.215 $ 0.215 $ 0.215 $ 0.215 $ 9,104,553 $ 9,068,841 $ 8,690,655 $ 8,387,567 $ 8,278,526 $ 8,212,411 $ 8,124,267 $ 8,022,510 Total mortgages and credit facilities 1,248,646 1,277,697 1,272,977 1,322,909 1,248,637 1,201,018 1,094,150 1,093,808 Shareholders’ equity Other Number of properties Gross leasable area (in thousands) Total portfolio occupancy % 4,195,263 4,171,426 3,961,179 3,666,239 3,639,952 3,645,911 3,660,290 3,566,144 160 159 161 160 158 158 157 157 25,278 25,137 25,238 24,800 24,431 24,256 24,270 24,238 95.0% 95.0% 95.2% 95.0% 94.8% 94.7% 94.7% 95.6% CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES The Company makes estimates and assumptions that affect the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amount of earnings for the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management believes that the policies that are most subject to estimation and Management’s judgment are those outlined below. Judgments Investment properties In applying the Company’s policy with respect to investment properties, judgment is applied in determining whether certain costs are additions to the carrying amount of the property and, for properties under development, identifying the point at which capitalization of borrowing and other costs ceases. Judgment is also applied in determining the extent and frequency of external and internal appraisals in order to estimate fair values and value updates. FIRST CAPITAL REALTY ANNUAL REPORT 2016 48 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – continued Hedge accounting Where the Company undertakes to apply cash flow hedge accounting, it must determine whether such hedges are expected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in cash flows and are assessed on an ongoing basis to determine that they actually have been highly effective throughout the reporting periods for which they were designated. Income taxes The Company exercises judgment in estimating deferred tax assets and liabilities. Income tax laws may be subject to different interpretations, and the income tax expense recorded by the Company reflects the Company’s interpretation of the relevant tax laws. The Company is also required to estimate the timing of reversals of temporary differences between accounting and taxable income in determining the appropriate rate to apply in calculating deferred taxes. Estimates and Assumptions Valuation of Investment properties The fair value of investment properties is determined by Management using the following three approaches at the end of each reporting period: 1. External appraisals – by an independent national appraisal firm, in accordance with professional appraisal standards and IFRS. On an annual basis, the Company has a minimum threshold of approximately 25% (as measured by fair value) of the property portfolio requiring external appraisal. Consequently, the entire portfolio is externally appraised at least once within a four-year cycle. 2. Internal appraisals – by certified staff appraisers employed by the Company, in accordance with professional appraisal standards and IFRS. 3. Value updates – primarily consisting of management's review of the key assumptions from previous appraisals and updating the value for changes in the property cash flow, physical condition and changes in market conditions. Shopping centres are appraised primarily based on an income approach that reflects stabilized cash flows or net operating income from existing tenants with the property in its existing state, since purchasers typically focus on expected income. External and internal appraisals are conducted using and placing reliance on both the direct capitalization method and the discounted cash flow method (including the estimated proceeds from a potential future disposition). Value updates use the direct capitalization method. Properties undergoing development, redevelopment or expansion are valued either (i) using the stabilized net operating income expected upon completion, with a deduction for costs to complete the project, or (ii) using the discounted cash flow method. Capitalization rates, discount rates and terminal rates, as applicable, are adjusted to reflect lease-up assumptions and construction risk, when appropriate. Adjacent land parcels held for future development are valued based on comparable sales of commercial land. The primary method of appraisal for development land is the comparable sales approach, which considers recent sales activity for similar land parcels in the same or similar markets to estimate a value on either a per acre basis or on a basis of per square foot buildable. Such values are applied to the Company's properties after adjusting for factors specific to the site, including its location, zoning, servicing and configuration. Refer to Note 2(f) of the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 for further information on the estimates and assumptions made by Management in connection with the fair values of investment properties. Valuation of Financial Instruments The Company is required to determine the fair value of its loans, mortgages and credit facilities, senior unsecured and convertible debentures payable, loans and mortgages receivable, marketable securities and derivatives. The fair values of the convertible debentures and marketable securities are based on quoted market prices. The fair values of the other financial instruments are calculated using internally developed models as follows: • Mortgages and credit facilities are calculated based on market interest rates plus a risk-adjusted spread on discounted cash flows. 49 FIRST CAPITAL REALTY ANNUAL REPORT 2016 • Senior unsecured debentures are based on closing bid risk-adjusted spreads and current underlying Government of Canada bond yields on discounted cash flows, also incorporating interest rate quotations provided by financial institutions. • Derivative instruments are determined using present value forward pricing and swap calculations at interest rates that reflect current market conditions. • Loans and mortgages receivable are calculated based on current market rates plus borrower level risk-adjusted spreads on discounted cash flows, adjusted for allowances for non-payment and collateral related risk. Estimates of risk-adjusted credit spreads applicable to a specific financial instrument and its underlying collateral could vary and result in a different disclosed fair value. Income Taxes For the determination of deferred tax assets and liabilities where investment property is measured using the fair value model, the presumption is that the carrying amount of an investment property is recovered through sale, as opposed to presuming that the economic benefits of the investment property will be substantially consumed through use over time. Additional critical accounting estimates and assumptions include those used for determining the allocation of convertible debentures liability and equity components, assessing the allowance for doubtful accounts on trade receivables, and estimating the fair value of share-based compensation. FUTURE ACCOUNTING POLICY CHANGES The IASB has issued new standards and amendments to existing standards. These changes are not yet adopted by the Company and could have an impact on future periods. These changes are described in detail below: Financial instruments IFRS 9, “Financial Instruments” (“IFRS 9”), was issued in July 2014, and replaces IAS 39, “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” (“IAS 39”). IFRS 9 addresses the classification and measurement of all financial assets and financial liabilities within the scope of the current IAS 39 and introduced a new expected credit loss impairment model that will require more timely recognition of expected credit losses and a substantially reformed model for hedge accounting. Also included are the requirements to measure debt-based financial assets at either amortized cost or fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”) and to measure equity-based financial assets as either held-for-trading or fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”). No amounts are reclassified out of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) if the FVTOCI option is elected. Additionally, embedded derivatives in financial assets would no longer be bifurcated and accounted for separately under IFRS 9. The revised hedge accounting model permits additional hedging strategies used for risk management to qualify for hedge accounting. IFRS 9 is required for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of IFRS 9 on its consolidated financial statements. Revenue from contracts with customers IFRS 15, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“IFRS 15”), was issued in May 2014, and replaces IAS 11, “Construction Contracts”, IAS 18, “Revenue Recognition”, IFRIC 13, “Customer Loyalty Programmes”, IFRIC 15, “Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate”, IFRIC 18, “Transfers of Assets from Customers”, and SIC-31, “Revenue – Barter Transactions Involving Advertising Services”. IFRS 15 provides a single, principles-based five-step model that will apply to all contracts with customers with limited exceptions, including, but not limited to, leases within the scope of IAS 17 “Leases”; financial instruments and other contractual rights or obligations within the scope of IFRS 9, IFRS 10, “Consolidated Financial Statements”, and IFRS 11, “Joint Arrangements”. In addition to the five-step model, the standard specifies how to account for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract and the costs directly related to fulfilling a contract. The incremental costs of obtaining a contract must be recognized as an asset if the Company expects to recover these costs. The standard’s requirements will also apply to the recognition and measurement of gains and losses on the sale of some non-financial assets that are not an output of the Company’s ordinary activities. FIRST CAPITAL REALTY ANNUAL REPORT 2016 50 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – continued IFRS 15 is required for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. Earlier adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of IFRS 15 on its consolidated financial statements. Leases IFRS 16, “Leases” (“IFRS 16”), was issued in January 2016, and replaces IAS 17, “Leases” (“IAS 17”). IFRS 16 eliminates the classification of leases as either operating leases or finance leases as is required by IAS 17 and, instead, introduces a single lessee accounting model. Certain leases will be exempt from these requirements. The most significant effect expected of the new requirements will be an increase in lease assets and financial liabilities for lessees with material off-balance sheet leases. Lessor accounting requirements under IFRS 16 are carried forward from IAS 17 and accordingly, leases will continue to be classified and accounted for as operating or finance leases by lessors. IFRS 16 is required for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. Earlier adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect any significant impact on its consolidated financial statements. Investment property The amendments to IAS 40, "Investment Property", clarify the accounting guidance and evidence required when an entity transfers to, or from, investment property. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. The Company does not expect any significant impact on its consolidated financial statements. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES As at December 31, 2016, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, with the assistance of other staff and Management of the Company to the extent deemed necessary, have designed the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the various reports filed or submitted by the Company under securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately and have designed internal controls over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. In the design of its internal controls over financial reporting, the Company used the 2013 framework published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company have evaluated, or caused the evaluation of, under their supervision, the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and its internal controls over financial reporting (each as defined in National Instrument 52-109-Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings) as at December 31, 2016, and have concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting were operating effectively. The Company did not make any changes in its internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2016 that have had, or are reasonably likely to have, a material effect on the Company's internal controls over financial reporting. On an ongoing basis, the Company will continue to analyze its controls and procedures for potential areas of improvement. Management does recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance and not absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In the unforeseen event that lapses in the disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls over financial reporting occur and/or mistakes happen, the Company intends to take the necessary steps to minimize the consequences thereof. 51 FIRST CAPITAL REALTY ANNUAL REPORT 2016 RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES First Capital Realty, as an owner of income-producing properties and development properties, is exposed to numerous business risks in the normal course of its business that can impact both short- and long-term performance. Income- producing and development properties are affected by general economic conditions and local market conditions such as oversupply of similar properties or a reduction in tenant demand. It is the responsibility of Management, under the supervision of the Board of Directors, to identify and, to the extent possible, mitigate or minimize the impact of all such business risks. The major categories of risk the Company encounters in conducting its business and some of the actions it takes to mitigate these risks are outlined below. The Company’s most current Annual Information Form, which provides a detailed description of these and other risks that may affect the Company, can be found on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on the Company’s website at www.fcr.ca. Economic Conditions and Ownership of Real Estate Real property investments are affected by various factors including changes in general economic conditions (such as the availability of long-term mortgage financings, fluctuations in interest rates and unemployment levels) and in local market conditions (such as an oversupply of space or a reduction in demand for real estate in the area), the attractiveness of the properties to tenants, competition from other real estate developers, managers and owners in seeking tenants, the ability of the owner to provide adequate maintenance at an economic cost, and various other factors. The economic conditions in the markets in which the Company operates can also have a significant impact on the Company’s tenants and, in turn, the Company’s financial success. Adverse changes in general or local economic conditions can result in some retailers being unable to sustain viable businesses and meet their lease obligations to the Company, and may also limit the Company’s ability to attract new or replacement tenants. The Company’s portfolio has major concentrations in Ontario, Alberta, Quebec and British Columbia. Moreover, within each of these provinces, the Company’s portfolio is concentrated predominantly in selected urban markets. As a result, economic and real estate conditions in these regions will significantly affect the Company’s revenues and the value of its properties. Revenue from the Company’s properties depends primarily on the ability of the Company’s tenants to pay the full amount of rent and other charges due under their leases on a timely basis. Leases comprise any agreements relating to the occupancy or use of the Company’s real property. There can be no assurance that tenants and other parties will be willing or able to perform their obligations under any such leases. If a significant tenant or a number of smaller tenants were to become unable or unwilling to meet their obligations to the Company, the Company’s financial position and results of operations would be adversely affected. In the event of default by a tenant, the Company may experience delays and unexpected costs in enforcing its rights as landlord under lease terms, which may also adversely affect the Company’s financial position and results of operations. The Company may also incur significant costs in making improvements or repairs to a property required in order to re-lease vacated premises to a new tenant. The Company’s portfolio has more concentration with certain tenants. In the event that one or more tenants that individually or collectively account for an important amount of the Company’s annual minimum rent experience financial difficulty and are unable to pay rent or fulfill their lease commitments, the Company’s financial position, results of operation and the value of its properties concerned would be adversely affected. First Capital Realty’s net income could be adversely affected in the event of a downturn in the business, or the bankruptcy or insolvency, of any anchor store or anchor tenant. Anchor tenants generally occupy large amounts of leasable area, pay a significant portion of the total rents at a property and contribute to the success of other tenants by drawing significant numbers of customers to a property. The closing of one or more anchor stores at a property could have a significant adverse effect on that property. Lease Renewals and Rental Increases Upon the expiry of any lease, there can be no assurance that the lease will be renewed or the tenant replaced. Expiries of certain leases will occur in both the short and long term, including expiry of leases of certain significant tenants, and although certain lease renewals and/or rental increases are expected to occur in the future, there can be no assurance that such renewals or rental increases will in fact occur. The failure to achieve renewals and/or rental increases may have FIRST CAPITAL REALTY ANNUAL REPORT 2016 52 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – continued an adverse effect on the financial position and results of operations of the Company. In addition, the terms of any subsequent lease may be less favourable to the Company than the existing lease. Financing, Interest Rates, Repayment of Indebtedness and Access to Capital The Company has outstanding indebtedness in the form of mortgages, loans, credit facilities, senior unsecured debentures and convertible debentures and, as such, is subject to the risks normally associated with debt financing, including the risk that the Company’s cash flow will be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest. The amount of indebtedness outstanding could require the Company to dedicate a substantial portion of its cash flow from operations to service its debt, thereby reducing funds available for operations, acquisitions, development activities and other business opportunities that may arise. There is a possibility that the Company’s internally generated cash may not be sufficient to repay all of its outstanding indebtedness. Upon the expiry of the term of the financing on any particular property owned by the Company, refinancing on a conventional mortgage loan basis may not be available in the amount required or may be available only on terms less favourable to the Company than the existing financing. The Company may elect to repay certain indebtedness through the issuance of equity securities or the sale of assets, where appropriate. Interest rates have a significant effect on the profitability of commercial properties as interest represents a significant cost in the ownership of real property where debt financing is used as a source of capital. The Company has a total of $1,024.0 million principal amount of fixed rate interest-bearing instruments outstanding including mortgages, senior unsecured debentures and convertible debentures maturing between January 1, 2017 and December 31, 2019 at a weighted average coupon interest rate of 5.5%. If these amounts were refinanced at an average interest rate that was 100 basis points higher or lower than the existing rate, the Company’s annual interest cost would respectively increase or decrease by $10.2 million. In addition, as at December 31, 2016, the Company had $324.2 million principal amount of debt (or 8% of the Company’s aggregate debt as of such date) at floating interest rates. The Company seeks to reduce its interest rate risk by staggering the maturities of long-term debt and limiting the use of floating rate debt so as to minimize exposure to interest rate fluctuations. Moreover, from time to time, the Company may enter into interest rate swap transactions to modify the interest rate profile of its current or future variable rate debts without an exchange of the underlying principal amount. Credit Ratings Any credit rating that is assigned to the senior unsecured debentures may not remain in effect for any given period of time or may be lowered, withdrawn or revised by one or more of the rating agencies if, in their judgment, circumstances so warrant. Refer to “Corporate Structure - Credit Ratings”. Any lowering, withdrawal or revision of a credit rating may have an adverse effect on the market price of the senior unsecured debentures and the other securities of the Company, may adversely affect a securityholder’s ability to sell its senior unsecured debentures or other securities of the Company and may adversely affect the Company’s access to financial markets and its cost of borrowing. Acquisition, Expansion, Development, Redevelopment and Strategic Dispositions The Company’s acquisition and investment strategy and market selection process may not ultimately be successful and may not provide positive returns on investment. The acquisition of properties or portfolios of properties entails risks that include the following, any of which could adversely affect the Company’s financial position and results of operations and its ability to meet its obligations: (i) the Company may not be able to identify suitable properties to acquire or may be unable to complete the acquisition of the properties identified; (ii) the Company may not be able to successfully integrate any acquisitions into its existing operations; (iii) properties acquired may fail to achieve the occupancy or rental rates projected at the time of the acquisition decision, which may result in the properties’ failure to achieve the returns projected; (iv) the Company’s pre-acquisition evaluation of the physical condition of each new investment may not detect certain defects or identify necessary repairs, which could significantly increase the Company’s total acquisition costs; (v) the Company’s investigation of a property or building prior to acquisition, may fail to reveal various liabilities, which could reduce the cash flow from the property or increase its acquisition cost; and (vi) representations and warranties obtained from third party vendors may not adequately protect against unknown, unexpected or undisclosed liabilities and any recourse against such vendors may be limited by the financial capacity of such vendors. 53 FIRST CAPITAL REALTY ANNUAL REPORT 2016 Further, the Company’s development and redevelopment commitments are subject to those risks usually attributable to construction projects, which include: (i) construction or other unforeseen delays; (ii) cost overruns; (iii) the failure of tenants to occupy and pay rent in accordance with existing lease agreements, some of which are conditional; (iv) the inability to achieve projected rental rates or anticipated pace of lease-ups; and (v) an increase in interest rates during the life of the development or redevelopment. Where the Company’s development commitments relate to properties intended for sale, such as the residential portion of certain projects, the Company is also subject to the risk that purchasers of such properties may become unable or unwilling to meet their obligations to the Company or that the Company may not be able to close the sale of a significant number of units in a development project on economically favourable terms. In addition, the Company undertakes strategic property dispositions from time to time in order to recycle its capital and maintain an optimal portfolio composition. The Company may be subject to unexpected costs or liabilities related to such dispositions, which could adversely affect the Company's financial position and results of operations and its ability to meet its obligations. Competition The real estate business is competitive. Numerous other developers, managers and owners of retail properties compete with the Company in seeking tenants. Some of the properties located in the same markets as the Company’s properties may be newer, better located and/or have stronger anchor tenants than the Company’s properties. The existence of developers, managers and owners in the markets in which the Company operates, or any increase in supply of available space in such markets (due to new construction, tenant insolvencies or other vacancy) and competition for the Company’s tenants could adversely affect the Company’s ability to lease space in its properties in such markets and on the rents charged or concessions granted. In addition, the internet and other technologies increasingly play a more significant role in consumer preferences and shopping patterns, which presents an evolving competitive risk to the Company that is not easily assessed. Any of the aforementioned factors could have an adverse effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. Residential Development Sales and Leasing The Company is and expects to be increasingly involved in the development of mixed-use properties that include residential condominiums and rental apartments. These developments are often carried out with an experienced residential developer as the Company's partner. Purchaser demand for residential condominiums is cyclical and is significantly affected by changes in general and local economic and industry conditions, such as employment levels, availability of financing for homebuyers, interest rates, consumer confidence, levels of new and existing homes for sale, demographic trends and housing demand. As a residential landlord in its properties that include rental apartments, the Company is subject to the risks inherent in the multi-unit residential rental property industry. In addition to the risks highlighted above, these include exposure to private individual tenants (as opposed to commercial tenants in the Company's retail properties), fluctuations in occupancy levels, the inability to achieve economic rents (including anticipated increases in rent), controlling bad debt exposure, rent control regulations, increases in operating costs including the costs of utilities (residential leases are often “gross” leases under which the landlord is not able to pass on costs to its residents), the imposition of increased taxes or new taxes and capital investment requirements. Environmental Matters The Company maintains comprehensive environmental insurance and conducts environmental due diligence upon the acquisition of new properties. There is, however, a risk that the value of any given property in the Company’s portfolio could be adversely affected as a result of unforeseen or uninsured environmental matters or changes in governmental regulations. Under various federal, provincial and local laws, the Company, as an owner, and potentially as a person in control of or managing real property, could potentially be liable for costs of investigation, remediation and monitoring of certain contaminants, hazardous or toxic substances present at or released from its properties or disposed of at other locations, whether the Company knows of, or is responsible for, the environmental contamination and whether the contamination occurred before or after the Company acquired the property. The costs of investigation, removal or remediation of FIRST CAPITAL REALTY ANNUAL REPORT 2016 54 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – continued hazardous or toxic substances are not estimable, may be substantial and could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations or financial position. The presence of contamination or the failure to remediate such substances, if any, may adversely affect the Company’s ability to sell such real estate or to borrow using such real estate as collateral and could potentially also result in claims, including proceedings by government regulators or third-party lawsuits. Environmental legislation can change rapidly and the Company may become subject to more stringent environmental laws in the future, and compliance with more stringent environmental laws, or increased enforcement of the same, could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial position or results of operations. Partnerships The Company has investments in properties with non-affiliated partners through partnership, co-ownership and limited liability corporate venture arrangements (collectively, “partnerships”). As a result, the Company does not control all decisions regarding those properties and may be required to take actions that are in the interest of the partners collectively, but not in the Company’s sole best interests. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to favourably resolve any issues that arise with respect to such decisions, or the Company may have to take legal action or provide financial or other inducements to partners to obtain such resolution. In addition, the Company may be exposed to risks resulting from the actions, omissions or financial situation of a partner, which may result in harm to the Company’s reputation or adversely affect the value of the Company’s investments. Significant Shareholders As of December 31, 2016, Chaim Katzman, a director (formerly the Chairman of the Board of the Company), and several of the Company's shareholders affiliated with Mr. Katzman (the “Gazit Group”), including Gazit-Globe and related entities, beneficially owned approximately 36.4% of the outstanding Common Shares. Gazit-Globe is a public company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange, the New York Stock Exchange and the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange. Additional information concerning Gazit-Globe is available in its public disclosure. Dori J. Segal, the Chairman of the Board of the Company, is also the Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of each of Gazit-Globe and its controlling shareholder, Norstar Holdings Inc., a corporation listed on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange ("Norstar"). Mr. Katzman as well as Mr. Segal and his spouse, directly and indirectly, own shares of Norstar and they have entered into a shareholders' agreement with Mr. Katzman under which they have agreed, among other things, to vote for certain nominees to, and to constitute, the board of Norstar in an agreed manner. The market price of the common shares could decline materially if the Company's significant shareholders sell some or all of their Common Shares or are perceived by the market as intending to sell such common shares. In addition, so long as the Gazit Group maintains a significant interest in the Company, it may be able to exercise significant influence over the outcome of any matter submitted to a vote of shareholders of the Company which requires the approval of a simple majority of shareholders voting at the meeting. The Gazit Group will also be able to exercise significant influence in the event of a take-over bid for First Capital Realty. This level of ownership may discourage third parties from seeking to acquire control of the Company, which in turn may adversely affect the market price of the Common Shares. Moreover, members of the Gazit Group have pledged a substantial portion of their common shares to secure revolving credit facilities made available to them by commercial banks.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements and the MD&A necessarily involves the use of estimates based on Management’s judgment, particularly when transactions affecting the current accounting period cannot be finalized with certainty until future periods. In addition, in preparing this financial information, Management must make determinations as to the relevancy of information to be included, and estimates and assumptions that affect the reported information. The MD&A also includes information regarding the impact of current transactions and events, sources of liquidity and capital resources, operating trends, risks and uncertainties. Actual results in the future may differ materially from the present assessment of this information because future events and circumstances may not occur as expected. The consolidated financial statements have been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and in light of information available up to February 14, 2017. Management is also responsible for the maintenance of financial and operating systems, which include effective controls to provide reasonable assurance that the Company’s assets are safeguarded, transactions are properly authorized and recorded, and that reliable financial information is produced. The Board of Directors is responsible for ensuring that Management fulfills its responsibilities, including the preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements and all of the information in the MD&A, and the maintenance of financial and operating systems, through its Audit Committee, that is comprised of independent directors who are not involved in the day-to-day operations of the Company. Each quarter, the Audit Committee meets with Management and, as necessary, with the independent auditors, Ernst & Young LLP, to satisfy itself that Management’s responsibilities are properly discharged and to review and report to the Board of Directors on the consolidated financial statements. In accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the independent auditors conduct an examination each year in order to express a professional opinion on the consolidated financial statements. Adam E. Paul President and Chief Executive Officer Toronto, Ontario February 14, 2017 Kay Brekken Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer 57 FIRST CAPITAL REALTY ANNUAL REPORT 2016 Independent Auditors’ Report To the Shareholders of First Capital Realty Inc. We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of First Capital Realty Inc., which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as at December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. Management’s responsibility for the consolidated financial statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditors’ responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditors consider internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of First Capital Realty Inc. as at December 31, 2016 and 2015, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY First Capital Realty Inc. ("First Capital Realty", "FCR", or the “Company”) is a corporation existing under the laws of Ontario, Canada, and engages in the business of acquiring, developing, redeveloping, owning and managing well-located, high quality urban retail-centered properties. The Company is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) under the symbol “FCR”, and its head office is located at 85 Hanna Avenue, Suite 400, Toronto, Ontario, M6K 3S3. 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (a) Statement of compliance These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). (b) Basis of presentation The audited annual consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis and have been presented in Canadian dollars rounded to the nearest thousand, unless otherwise indicated. The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently in all material respects. Changes in standards effective for the current year as well as for future accounting periods are described in Note 3 – “Adoption of New and Amended IFRS Pronouncements”. Comparative information in the financial statements includes reclassification of certain balances to provide consistency with current period classification. The current period classification more appropriately reflects the Company's core operations and any changes are not material to the financial statements as a whole. Additionally, management, in measuring the Company's performance or making operating decisions, distinguishes its operations on a geographical basis. The Company operates in Canada and has three operating segments: Eastern, which includes operations primarily in Quebec and Ottawa; Central, which includes the Company’s Ontario operations excluding Ottawa; and Western, which includes operations in Alberta and British Columbia. Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker, who is the President and Chief Executive Officer. These audited annual consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors and authorized for issue on February 14, 2017. (c) Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company as well as the entities that are controlled by the Company (subsidiaries). The Company controls an entity when the Company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Company. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. Inter-company transactions, balances and other transactions between consolidated entities are eliminated. (d) Business combinations At the time of acquisition of property, the Company considers whether the acquisition represents the acquisition of a business. The Company accounts for an acquisition as a business combination where an integrated set of activities is acquired in addition to the property. The cost of a business combination is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred at acquisition date fair value. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at fair value at the acquisition date. The Company recognizes any contingent consideration to be transferred by the Company at its acquisition date fair value. Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Acquisition-related costs are expensed in the period incurred. FIRST CAPITAL REALTY ANNUAL REPORT 2016 64 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – continued When the acquisition of property does not represent a business, it is accounted for as an acquisition of a group of assets and liabilities. The cost of the acquisition is allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired based upon their relative fair values, and no goodwill is recognized. Acquisition-related costs are capitalized to investment property at the time the acquisition is completed. (e) Investments in joint arrangements The Company accounts for its investment in joint ventures using the equity method and accounts for investments in joint operations by recognizing the Company’s direct rights to assets, obligations for liabilities, revenues and expenses. Under the equity method, the interest in the joint venture is carried in the balance sheet at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the Company’s share of the net assets of the joint ventures, less distributions received and less any impairment in the value of individual investments. The Company's income statement reflects its share of the results of operations of the joint ventures after tax. (f) Investment properties Investment properties consist of shopping centres and development land that are held to earn rental income or for capital appreciation, or both. Investment properties also include properties that are being constructed or developed for future use, as well as ground leases to which the Company is the lessee. The Company classifies its investment properties on its consolidated balance sheets as follows: (i) Shopping centres Shopping centres include the Company's shopping centre portfolio, properties currently under development or redevelopment, and any adjacent land parcels available for expansion but not currently under development. (ii) Development land Development land includes land parcels which are not part of one of the Company’s existing shopping centres and which are at various stages of development planning, primarily for future retail occupancy. (iii) Investment properties classified as held for sale Investment property is classified as held for sale when it is expected that the carrying amount will be recovered principally through sale rather than from continuing use. For this to be the case, the property must be available for immediate sale in its present condition, subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such property, and its sale must be highly probable, generally within one year. Upon designation as held for sale, the investment property continues to be measured at fair value and is presented separately on the consolidated balance sheets. Valuation method Investment properties are recorded at fair value, which reflects current market conditions, at each balance sheet date. Gains and losses from changes in fair values are recorded in net income in the period in which they arise. The determination of fair values requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the values presented, such that actual values in sales transactions may differ from those presented. The Company has three approaches to determine the fair value of an investment property at the end of each reporting period: 1. External appraisals – by an independent national appraisal firm, in accordance with professional appraisal standards and IFRS. On an annual basis, the Company has a minimum threshold of approximately 25% (as measured by fair value) of the property portfolio requiring external appraisal. Consequently, the entire portfolio is externally appraised at least once within a four-year cycle. 2. Internal appraisals – by certified staff appraisers employed by the Company, in accordance with professional appraisal standards and IFRS. 3. Value updates – primarily consisting of management's review of the key assumptions from previous appraisals and updating the value for changes in the property cash flow, physical condition and changes in market conditions. 65 FIRST CAPITAL REALTY ANNUAL REPORT 2016 The selection of the approach for each property is made based upon the following criteria: • Property type – this includes an evaluation of a property's complexity, stage of development, time since acquisition, and other specific opportunities or risks associated with the property. Stable properties and recently acquired properties will generally receive a value update, while properties under development will typically be valued using internal or external appraisals until completion. • Market risks – specific risks in a region or a trade area may warrant a full internal or external appraisal for certain properties. • Changes in overall economic conditions – significant changes in overall economic conditions may increase the number of external or internal appraisals performed. • Business needs – financings or acquisitions and dispositions may require an external appraisal. Valuation Inputs The Company’s investment property is measured using Level 3 inputs (in accordance with IFRS fair value hierarchy), as not all significant inputs are based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). These unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own assumptions of how market participants would price investment property, and are developed based on the best information available, including the Company’s own data. These significant unobservable inputs include: • Stabilized cash flows or net operating income, which is based on the location, type and quality of the properties and supported by the terms of any existing lease, other contracts, or external evidence such as current market rents for similar properties, adjusted for estimated vacancy rates based on current and expected future market conditions after expiry of any current lease and expected maintenance costs. • Capitalization rates, discount rates and terminal rates, which are based on location, size and quality of the properties and taking into account market data at the valuation date. Capitalization rates are used for the direct capitalization method and discount and terminal rates are used in the discounted cash flow method described below. • Costs to complete for properties under development. (i) Shopping centres Shopping centres are appraised primarily based on an income approach that reflects stabilized cash flows or net operating income from existing tenants with the property in its existing state, since purchasers typically focus on expected income. External and internal appraisals are conducted using and placing reliance on both the direct capitalization method and the discounted cash flow method (including the estimated proceeds from a potential future disposition). Value updates use the direct capitalization method. (ii) Properties under development Properties undergoing development, redevelopment or expansion are valued either (i) using the stabilized net operating income expected upon completion, with a deduction for costs to complete the project, or (ii) using the discounted cash flow method. Capitalization rates, discount rates and terminal rates, as applicable, are adjusted to reflect lease-up assumptions and construction risk, when appropriate. Adjacent land parcels held for future development are valued based on comparable sales of commercial land. The primary method of appraisal for development land is the comparable sales approach, which considers recent sales activity for similar land parcels in the same or similar markets to estimate a value on either a per acre basis or on a basis of per square foot buildable. Such values are applied to the Company’s properties after adjusting for factors specific to the site, including its location, zoning, servicing and configuration. The cost of development properties includes direct development costs, including internal development costs, realty taxes and borrowing costs attributable to the development. Borrowing costs associated with expenditures on properties under development or redevelopment are capitalized. Borrowing costs are also capitalized on land or properties acquired specifically for development or redevelopment when activities necessary to prepare the asset for development or redevelopment are in progress. The amount of borrowing costs capitalized is determined first by reference to borrowings specific to the project, where relevant, and otherwise by applying a weighted average cost of borrowings to eligible expenditures after adjusting for borrowings associated with other specific developments. Where borrowings are associated with specific developments, the amount capitalized is the gross cost incurred on those borrowings, less any interest income earned on funds not yet employed in construction funding. FIRST CAPITAL REALTY ANNUAL REPORT 2016 66 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – continued Capitalization of borrowing costs and all other costs commences when the activities necessary to prepare an asset for development or redevelopment begin, and continue until the date that construction is complete and all necessary occupancy and related permits have been received, whether or not the space is leased. If the Company is required as a condition of a lease to construct tenant improvements that enhance the value of the property, then capitalization of costs continues until such improvements are completed. Capitalization ceases if there are prolonged periods when development activity is interrupted. As required by IFRS in determining investment property fair value, the Company makes no adjustments for portfolio premiums and discounts, nor for any value attributable to the Company's management platform. (g) Residential development inventory Residential development inventory which is developed for sale is recorded at the lower of cost and estimated net realizable value. Residential development inventory is reviewed for impairment at each reporting date. An impairment loss is recognized in net income when the carrying value of the property exceeds its net realizable value. Net realizable value is based on projections of future cash flows which take into account the development plans for each project and management’s best estimate of the most probable set of anticipated economic conditions. The cost of residential development inventory includes borrowing costs directly attributable to projects under active development. The amount of borrowing costs capitalized is determined first by reference to borrowings specific to the project, where relevant, and otherwise by applying a weighted average capitalization rate for the Company’s other borrowings to eligible expenditures. Borrowing costs are not capitalized on residential development inventory where no development activity is taking place. Residential development inventory is presented separately on the consolidated balance sheets as current assets. Residential development inventory is classified as current because the Company intends to sell this asset in the normal operating cycle. (h) Taxation Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be received from or paid to tax authorities based on the tax rates and laws enacted or substantively enacted at the consolidated balance sheet dates. Deferred tax liabilities are measured by applying the appropriate tax rate to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, and their respective tax basis. The appropriate tax rate is determined by reference to the rates that are expected to apply to the year and the jurisdiction in which the assets are expected to be realized or the liabilities settled. Deferred tax assets are recorded for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized. For the determination of deferred tax assets and liabilities where investment property is measured using the fair value model, the presumption is that the carrying amount of an investment property is recovered through sale, as opposed to presuming that the economic benefits of the investment property will be substantially consumed through use over time. Current and deferred income taxes are recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity. (i) Provisions A provision is a liability of uncertain timing or amount. The Company records provisions, including asset retirement obligations, when it has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. Provisions are remeasured at each consolidated balance sheet date using the current discount rate. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense. 67 FIRST CAPITAL REALTY ANNUAL REPORT 2016 (j) Share-based payments Equity-settled share-based compensation, including stock options, restricted share units, performance share units and deferred share units, is measured at the fair value of the grants on the grant date. The fair value of options is estimated using an accepted option pricing model, as appropriate to the instrument. The cost of equity-settled share-based compensation is recognized in the consolidated statements of income on a proportionate basis consistent with the vesting features of each grant. (k) Revenue recognition The Company has not transferred substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of its investment properties and, therefore, accounts for leases with its tenants as operating leases. Revenue recognition under a lease commences when the tenant has a right to use the leased asset, which is typically when the space is turned over to the tenant to begin fixturing. Where the Company is required to make additions to the property in the form of tenant improvements that enhance the value of the property, revenue recognition begins upon substantial completion of those improvements. The total amount of contractual rent to be received from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, including any fixturing period. A receivable, which is included in the carrying amount of an investment property, is recorded for the difference between the straight-line rental revenue recorded and the contractual amount received. Rental revenue also includes percentage rents based on tenant sales, and recoveries of operating expenses and property taxes. Percentage rents are recognized when the sales thresholds set out in the leases have been met. Operating expense recoveries are recognized in the period that recoverable costs are chargeable to tenants. (l) Financial instruments and derivatives All financial instruments are required to be measured at fair value on initial recognition. Measurement in subsequent periods depends on whether the financial instrument has been classified as fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), available-for-sale (“AFS”), held-to-maturity, loans and receivables or other liabilities. Derivative instruments are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value, including those derivatives that are embedded in financial or non-financial contracts and which are not closely related to the host contract. The Company enters into forward contracts, interest rate swaps, and cross currency swaps to hedge its risks associated with movements in interest rates and the movement in the Canadian to US dollar exchange rate. Derivatives are carried as assets when the fair value is positive and as liabilities when the fair value is negative. Hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively when the hedging relationship is terminated, when the instrument no longer qualifies as a hedge, or when the hedged item is sold or terminated. In cash flow hedging relationships, the portion of the change in the fair value of the hedging derivative that is considered to be effective is recognized in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) while the portion considered to be ineffective is recognized in net income. Unrealized hedging gains and losses in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) are reclassified to net income in the periods when the hedged item affects net income. Gains and losses on derivatives are immediately reclassified to net income when the hedged item is sold or terminated or when it is determined that a hedged forecasted transaction is no longer probable. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments, including embedded derivatives, that are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes, are recognized in other gains (losses) and (expenses). FIRST CAPITAL REALTY ANNUAL REPORT 2016 68 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – continued The following summarizes the Company’s classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities: Financial assets Investments designated as AFS Derivative assets Loans and mortgages receivable Equity securities designated as FVTPL Amounts receivable Cash and cash equivalents Restricted cash Financial liabilities Bank indebtedness Mortgages Credit facilities Senior unsecured debentures Convertible debentures Accounts payable and other liabilities Derivative liabilities Classification Measurement AFS FVTPL Loans and receivables FVTPL Loans and receivables Loans and receivables Loans and receivables Other liabilities Other liabilities Other liabilities Other liabilities Other liabilities Other liabilities FVTPL Fair value Fair value Amortized cost Fair value Amortized cost Amortized cost Amortized cost Amortized cost Amortized cost Amortized cost Amortized cost Amortized cost Amortized cost Fair value In determining fair values, the Company evaluates counterparty credit risks and makes adjustments to fair values and credit spreads based upon changes in these risks. Fair value measurements recognized in the consolidated balance sheets are categorized using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of inputs used in determining the fair values: (i) Level 1 Inputs – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. The Company’s investments in equity securities are measured using Level 1 inputs; (ii) Level 2 Inputs – inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices). The Company’s derivative assets and liabilities are measured using Level 2 inputs; and (iii) Level 3 Inputs – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). These unobservable inputs reflect the Company's own assumptions about the data that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, and are developed based on the best information available, including the Company’s own data. For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period. (m) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash, bank indebtedness, and short-term investments with original maturities at the time of acquisition of three months or less. (n) Critical judgments in applying accounting policies The following are the critical judgments that have been made in applying the Company’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts in the consolidated financial statements: (i) Investment properties In applying the Company’s policy with respect to investment properties, judgment is applied in determining whether certain costs are additions to the carrying amount of the property and, for properties under development, identifying the point at which capitalization of borrowing and other costs ceases. Judgment is also applied in determining the extent and frequency of external and internal appraisals in order to estimate fair values. 69 FIRST CAPITAL REALTY ANNUAL REPORT 2016 (ii) Hedge accounting Where the Company undertakes to apply cash flow hedge accounting, it must determine whether such hedges are expected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in cash flows and are assessed on an ongoing basis to determine that they actually have been highly effective throughout the reporting periods for which they were designated. (iii) Income taxes The Company exercises judgment in estimating deferred tax assets and liabilities. Income tax laws may be subject to different interpretations, and the income tax expense recorded by the Company reflects the Company’s interpretation of the relevant tax laws. The Company is also required to estimate the timing of reversals of temporary differences between accounting and taxable income in determining the appropriate rate to apply in calculating deferred taxes. (o) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions The Company makes estimates and assumptions that affect the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amount of earnings for the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The estimates and assumptions that the Company considers critical include those underlying the valuation of investment properties, as set out above, which describes the process by which investment properties are valued, and the determination of which properties are externally and internally appraised and how often. Additional critical accounting estimates and assumptions include those used for determining the values of financial instruments for disclosure purposes (Note 22), estimating deferred taxes, allocation of convertible debentures liability and equity components, assessing the allowance for doubtful accounts on trade receivables, and estimating the fair value of share-based compensation (Note 13). 3. ADOPTION OF NEW AND AMENDED IFRS PRONOUNCEMENTS (a) IFRS Amendments The Company has adopted the amended International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") pronouncement listed below as of January 1, 2016, in accordance with its transitional provisions. Joint Arrangements The amendments to IFRS 11, "Joint Arrangement" ("IFRS 11") are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016. The amendments address how a joint operator should account for the acquisition of an interest in a joint operation in which the activity of the joint operation constitutes a business. IFRS 11, as amended, now requires that such transactions shall be accounted for using the principles related to business combinations accounting as outlined in IFRS 3, "Business Combinations". The Company adopted the amendments effective January 1, 2016 which have not had a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. (b) Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted The IASB has issued new standards and amendments to existing standards. These changes are not yet adopted by the Company and could have an impact on future periods. These changes are described in detail below: Financial instruments IFRS 9, “Financial Instruments” (“IFRS 9”), was issued in July 2014, and replaces IAS 39, “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” (“IAS 39”). IFRS 9 addresses the classification and measurement of all financial assets and financial liabilities within the scope of the current IAS 39 and introduced a new expected credit loss impairment model that will require more timely recognition of expected credit losses and a substantially reformed model for hedge accounting. Also included are the requirements to measure debt-based financial assets at either amortized cost or fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”) and to measure equity-based financial assets as either held-for-trading or fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”). No amounts are reclassified out of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) if the FVTOCI option is elected. Additionally, embedded derivatives in financial assets would no longer be bifurcated and accounted for separately under IFRS 9. FIRST CAPITAL REALTY ANNUAL REPORT 2016 70 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – continued The revised hedge accounting model permits additional hedging strategies used for risk management to qualify for hedge accounting. IFRS 9 is required for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of IFRS 9 on its consolidated financial statements. Revenue from contracts with customers IFRS 15, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“IFRS 15”), was issued in May 2014, and replaces IAS 11, “Construction Contracts”, IAS 18, “Revenue Recognition”, IFRIC 13, “Customer Loyalty Programmes”, IFRIC 15, “Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate”, IFRIC 18, “Transfers of Assets from Customers”, and SIC-31, “Revenue – Barter Transactions Involving Advertising Services”. IFRS 15 provides a single, principles-based five-step model that will apply to all contracts with customers with limited exceptions, including, but not limited to, leases within the scope of IAS 17 “Leases”; financial instruments and other contractual rights or obligations within the scope of IFRS 9, IFRS 10, “Consolidated Financial Statements”, and IFRS 11, “Joint Arrangements”. In addition to the five-step model, the standard specifies how to account for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract and the costs directly related to fulfilling a contract. The incremental costs of obtaining a contract must be recognized as an asset if the Company expects to recover these costs. The standard’s requirements will also apply to the recognition and measurement of gains and losses on the sale of some non-financial assets that are not an output of the Company’s ordinary activities. IFRS 15 is required for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. Earlier adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of IFRS 15 on its consolidated financial statements. Leases IFRS 16, “Leases” (“IFRS 16”), was issued in January 2016, and replaces IAS 17, “Leases” (“IAS 17”). IFRS 16 eliminates the classification of leases as either operating leases or finance leases as is required by IAS 17 and, instead, introduces a single lessee accounting model. Certain leases will be exempt from these requirements. The most significant effect expected of the new requirements will be an increase in lease assets and financial liabilities for lessees with material off-balance sheet leases. Lessor accounting requirements under IFRS 16 are carried forward from IAS 17 and accordingly, leases will continue to be classified and accounted for as operating or finance leases by lessors. IFRS 16 is required for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. Earlier adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect any significant impact on its consolidated financial statements. Investment property The amendments to IAS 40, "Investment Property", clarify the accounting guidance and evidence required when an entity transfers to, or from, investment property. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. The Company does not expect any significant impact on its consolidated financial statements. 71 FIRST CAPITAL REALTY ANNUAL REPORT 2016 4.

SNOI is not a measure defined by IFRS. SNOI reflects long-term, stable property operations, assuming a certain level of vacancy, capital and operating expenditures required to maintain a stable occupancy rate. The average vacancy rates used in determining SNOI for non-anchor tenants generally range from 2% to 5%. A 1% increase in SNOI coupled with a 0.25% decrease in capitalization rate would result in an increase in the fair value of shopping centres of $462 million, and a 1% decrease in SNOI coupled with a 0.25% increase in capitalization rate would result in a decrease in the fair value of shopping centres of $413 million. (c) Investment properties – Acquisitions During the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company acquired shopping centres and development land for rental income and future development and redevelopment opportunities as follows: Year ended December 31 Total purchase price, including acquisition costs Mortgage assumption on acquisition Total cash paid Shopping Centres 286,220 — 286,220 $ $ 2016 Development Land $ $ 34,728 — 34,728 2015 Shopping Centres Development Land $ $ 97,699 (1,453) 96,246 $ $ — — — 73 FIRST CAPITAL REALTY ANNUAL REPORT 2016 (d) Investment properties classified as held for sale The Company has certain investment properties classified as held for sale.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT The Company manages its capital, taking into account the long-term business objectives of the Company, to provide stability and reduce risk while generating an acceptable return on investment to shareholders over the long term. The Company’s capital structure currently includes common shares, senior unsecured debentures, mortgages, convertible debentures, credit facilities and bank indebtedness, which together provide the Company with financing flexibility to meet its capital needs. Primary uses of capital include development activities, acquisitions, capital improvements, leasing costs and debt principal repayments. The actual level and type of future financings to fund these capital requirements will be determined based on prevailing interest rates, various costs of debt and/or equity capital, capital market conditions and management’s general view of the required leverage in the business.

In accordance with the terms of the Company's credit agreements, all ratios are calculated with joint ventures proportionately consolidated. As at December 31, 2016, the Company remains in compliance with all of its applicable financial covenants. The following table summarizes a number of the Company's key ratios: As at Net debt to total assets Unencumbered aggregate assets to unsecured debt, using 10 quarter average capitalization rate (1) Shareholders’ equity, using four quarter average (billions) (1) Secured indebtedness to total assets (1) For the rolling four quarters ended Interest coverage (EBITDA to interest expense) (1) Fixed charge coverage (EBITDA to debt service) (1) Measure/ Covenant December 31, 2016 December 31, 2015 $ 42.6% 2.0 4.0 12.7% 2.5 2.2 42.9% 2.2 3.6 13.1% 2.5 2.1 $ >$1.6B <35% >1.65 >1.50 (1) Calculations required under the Company's credit facility agreements or indenture governing the senior unsecured debentures. The above ratios include measures not specifically defined in IFRS. Certain calculations are required pursuant to debt covenants and are meaningful measures for this reason. Measures used in these ratios are defined below: • Debt consists of principal amounts outstanding on credit facilities and mortgages, and the par value of senior unsecured debentures. Convertible debentures are excluded for the net debt to total assets ratio, as the Company has the option to satisfy its obligations of principal and interest payments in respect of all of its outstanding convertible debentures by the issuance of common shares; • Net debt is calculated as Debt, as defined above, reduced by cash balances at the end of the period; • Secured indebtedness includes mortgages and any draws under the secured facilities that are collateralized against investment property. • EBITDA, as adjusted, is calculated as net income, adding back income tax expense, interest expense and amortization and excluding the increase or decrease in the value of investment properties, other gains (losses) and (expenses) and other non-cash or non-recurring items. The Company also adjusts for incremental leasing costs and costs not capitalized during the development period. • Fixed charges include regular principal and interest payments and capitalized interest in the calculation of interest expense and do not include non-cash interest on convertible debentures. 77 FIRST CAPITAL REALTY ANNUAL REPORT 2016 • Unencumbered assets include the value of assets that have not been pledged as security under any credit agreement or mortgage. The unencumbered asset value ratio is calculated as unencumbered assets divided by the principal amount of the unsecured debt, which consists of the bank indebtedness, unsecured credit facilities, senior unsecured debentures and convertible debentures. 9.

The following reconciles the Company’s expected tax expense computed at the statutory tax rate to its actual tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015: Year ended December 31 Income tax expense at the Canadian federal and provincial income tax rate of 26.6% (2015 – 26.4%) $ 126,712 $ 2016 Increase (decrease) in income taxes due to: Non-taxable portion of capital gains and other Impact of change in statutory income tax rate Other Deferred income taxes 2015 68,527 (19,574) 7,375 (485) (38,883) (1,207) 3,948 $ 90,570 $ 55,843 The current Canadian federal and provincial tax rate of 26.6% increased from 26.4% primarily due to an increase in the general corporate income tax rate in the Province of Alberta during the second quarter of 2015. During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Province of Quebec reduced its general corporate income tax rate, which impacted the measurement of the Company's deferred taxes. 20.

RISK MANAGEMENT In the normal course of its business, the Company is exposed to a number of risks that can affect its operating performance. Certain of these risks, and the actions taken to manage them, are as follows: (a) Interest rate risk The Company structures its financings so as to stagger the maturities of its debt, thereby mitigating its exposure to interest rate and other credit market fluctuations. A portion of the Company’s mortgages, loans and credit facilities are floating rate instruments. From time to time, the Company may enter into interest rate swap contracts, bond forwards or other financial instruments to modify the interest rate profile of its outstanding debt or highly probable future debt issuances without an exchange of the underlying principal amount. Interest represents a significant cost in financing the ownership of real property. The Company has a total of $1.0 billion principal amount of fixed rate interest-bearing instruments outstanding including mortgages, senior unsecured debentures and convertible debentures maturing between January 1, 2017 and December 31, 2019 at a weighted average coupon interest rate of 5.5%. If these amounts were refinanced at an average interest rate that was 100 basis points higher or lower than the existing rate, the Company’s annual interest cost would increase or decrease, respectively, by $10.2 million. The Company’s loans and mortgages receivable earn interest at fixed rates. If the loans were refinanced at 100 basis points higher or lower than the existing rate, the Company’s annual interest income would increase or decrease by approximately $1.4 million. (b) Credit risk Credit risk arises from the possibility that tenants and/or debtors may experience financial difficulty and be unable or unwilling to fulfill their lease commitments or loan obligations. The Company mitigates the risk of credit loss from tenants by investing in well-located properties in urban markets that attract high quality tenants, ensuring that its tenant mix is diversified, and by limiting its exposure to any one tenant. As at December 31, 2016, Loblaw Companies Limited (“Loblaw”) accounts for 10.2% of the Company’s annualized minimum rent and has an investment grade credit rating. Other than Loblaw, no other tenant accounts for more than 10% of the annualized minimum rent. A tenant’s success over the term of its lease and its ability to fulfill its lease obligations is subject to many factors. There can be no assurance that a tenant will be able to fulfill all of its existing commitments and leases up to the expiry date. The Company typically mitigates the risk of credit loss from debtors by obtaining registered mortgage charges on real estate properties. The Company’s leases typically have lease terms between 5 and 20 years and may include clauses to enable periodic upward revision of the rental rates, and lease contract extension at the option of the lessee. Future minimum rentals receivable under non-cancellable operating leases as at December 31 are as follows: As at December 31, 2016 Within 1 year After 1 year, but not more than 5 years More than 5 years $ 417,917 1,146,685 763,076 $ 2,327,678 (c) Liquidity risk Real estate investments are relatively illiquid. This tends to limit the Company’s ability to sell components of its portfolio promptly in response to changing economic or investment conditions. If the Company were required to quickly liquidate its assets, there is a risk that it would realize sale proceeds of less than the current value of its real estate investments. FIRST CAPITAL REALTY ANNUAL REPORT 2016 88 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – continued An analysis of the Company’s contractual maturities of its material financial liabilities and other contractual commitments as at December 31, 2016 is set out below: As at December 31, 2016 Payments Due by Period Scheduled mortgage principal amortization Mortgage principal repayments on maturity Credit facilities and bank indebtedness Senior unsecured debentures Convertible debentures Interest obligations (1) Land leases (expiring between 2023 and 2061) Contractual committed costs to complete current development projects Other committed costs Total contractual obligations (2) 2017 2018 to 2019 2020 to 2021 Thereafter Total $ 27,335 $ 82,902 7,785 250,000 108,147 158,927 964 61,560 44,172 $ 36,407 $ 41,643 $ 231,035 60,245 300,000 — 265,319 1,958 5,818 119,255 199,365 350,000 — 196,824 1,968 — 413,176 — 1,650,000 — 201,044 15,219 — 149,557 846,368 267,395 2,550,000 108,147 822,114 20,109 67,378 — 16,703 — — 16,703 $ 697,620 $ 925,250 $ 903,819 $ 2,321,082 $ 4,847,771 (1) Interest obligations include expected interest payments on mortgages and credit facilities as at December 31, 2016 (assuming balances remain outstanding through to maturity), and senior unsecured debentures, as well as standby credit facility fees. (2) The Company has the option to satisfy its obligations of principal and interest payments in respect of all of its outstanding convertible debentures by the issuance of common shares, and as such, convertible debentures have been excluded from this table unless the Company has disclosed its intention to settle in cash. The Company manages its liquidity risk by staggering debt maturities; renegotiating expiring credit arrangements proactively; using revolving credit facilities; and issuing equity when considered appropriate. As at December 31, 2016, there was $183.5 million (December 31, 2015 – $195.0 million) of cash advances drawn against the Company’s revolving credit facilities. In addition, as at December 31, 2016, the Company has $48.2 million (December 31, 2015 – $55.6 million) of bank overdrafts and outstanding letters of credit issued by financial institutions primarily to support certain of the Company’s contractual obligations. 22.

The fair values of the Company’s investments in FVTPL as well as any short positions in marketable securities, are based on quoted market prices. The Company has an investment in a fund classified as Level 3 AFS equity securities, for which the fair value is based on the fair value of the properties held in the fund. The fair value of the Company’s loans and mortgages receivable classified as Level 3, are calculated based on current market rates plus borrower level risk-adjusted spreads on discounted cash flows, adjusted for allowances for non-payment and collateral related risk. As at December 31, 2016, the risk-adjusted interest rates ranged from 4.0% to 15.0% (December 31, 2015 – 4.0% to 10.0%). The fair value of the Company’s mortgages and credit facilities payable are calculated based on current market rates plus risk-adjusted spreads on discounted cash flows. As at December 31, 2016, these rates ranged from 2.3% to 3.6% (December 31, 2015 – 2.3% to 3.3%). The fair value of the senior unsecured debentures are based on closing bid risk-adjusted spreads and current underlying Government of Canada bond yields on discounted cash flows. For the purpose of this calculation, the Company uses, among others, interest rate quotations provided by financial institutions. As at December 31, 2016, these rates ranged from 1.1% to 3.7% (December 31, 2015 – 1.7% to 3.8%). The fair values of the convertible debentures are based on the TSX closing bid prices. The fair value hierarchy of financial instruments on the audited annual consolidated balance sheets is as follows: As at December 31, 2016 December 31, 2015 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Measured at fair value Financial Assets FVTPL investments in equity securities AFS investments in limited partnership Derivatives at fair value – assets Financial Liabilities Derivatives at fair value – liabilities Measured at amortized cost Financial Assets Loans and mortgages receivable Financial Liabilities Mortgages Credit facilities Senior unsecured debentures Convertible debentures $ 12,969 $ — — — $ — 12,438 — $ 3,824 — 11,907 $ — — — $ — — — 4,269 — — 6,469 — — 8,959 — $ — $ — $ 144,379 $ — $ — $ 141,354 — 996,835 251,481 — — 2,691,059 — 214,423 — — — — — 1,048,090 224,635 — — 2,414,392 — 341,874 — — — — The Company enters into derivative instruments including bond forward contracts, interest rate swaps and cross currency swaps as part of its strategy for managing certain interest rate risks as well as currency risk in relation to movements in the Canadian to U.S. exchange rate. For those derivative instruments to which the Company has applied hedge accounting, the change in fair value for the effective portion of the derivative is recorded in other comprehensive income from the date of designation. For those derivative instruments to which the Company does not apply hedge accounting, the change in fair value is recognized in other gains (losses) and (expenses). The fair value of derivative instruments is determined using present value forward pricing and swap calculations at interest rates that reflect current market conditions. The models also take into consideration the credit quality of counterparties, interest rate curves and forward rate curves. As at December 31, 2016, the interest rates ranged from 1.7% to 3.3% (December 31, 2015 – 1.5% to 3.2%).
